Tourist Guide to Warsaw

"A mother and her son travel to Warsaw to try to recover a building that belonged to their family before the Second World War. Their journey brings out the conflict between the generations, their relationship with the father who died years earlier, and the 'lesson' of the Holocaust - both for the generation that lived through it and for the younger generation, who felt that terrible experience in childhood. The Warsaw of the play is only a fable. It could just as easily have been Bucharest or Budapest. Warsaw is the past our parents carry with them: a difficult past they will never be able to forget, and yet, surprisingly, a place they miss." (Hillel Mittelpunkt)
