Bengt Bok

A film about four women who survived Auschwitz as teenagers. Despite their traumas and haunting memories, they have lived to nearly one hundred and are now among the few remaining to bear witness to the Holocaust. They live in Stockholm, have been friends for decades, and share a deep passion for playing bridge. Life proceeds as usual, but suddenly everything changes with Hamas' terror attack and the relentless war in Gaza that follows. A unique film about the Holocaust and the art of survival.

Aljosha Taikon's loneliness is consuming him more and more. If things looked different, he would be the head of the family today, but that did not happen.

"Mr and Mrs Art" - Getting attention is like being struck by the light of the sun, says artist Karin "Mamma" Anderson. If you are lucky you are hit by its rays for a short while during a lifetime, but the light is transient. Artists Karin "Mamma" Andersson and Jockum Nordström bathing in the light of fame. Few other artist couples in Sweden can compete with them in terms of attention and success. They exhibit at all the major galleries and fairs around the world, win prizes and are constantly in demand. Filmmaker Bengt Bok has followed the couple from studio to venue and talked about the conditions of creation and the sweetness and the taste of blood in fame and being famous.

The houses, the yards, the gray watchtowers, the surrounding wall, the village is connected to and was set up at the same time as the concentration camp. In a personal and reflective documentary, we meet a place marked by the Holocaust and the people who stay and live there today.
