JIFF: The Burning Cold

“A brilliant historical narrative that combines Jewish WWII experience, Nazi expansionism and the rural life of the Catalan mountains.” - El Palomitrón

It’s the winter of 1943 in Andorra, a small country in the Pyrenees mountain range bordering France and Spain. Antonio and Sara, a young married couple, are expecting their first child. The relative peace in their small town is upended when a family of Jews fleeing Nazi persecution arrive to seek refuge. As war looms, Sara will have to face her own internal conflicts and decide whether to listen to her head or her conscience.
