The grandfather of American Jew Jonathan (Elijah Wood) is one of the survivors of this disaster. For many years, the old man has always regarded finding the savior of the year as his greatest wish in life. But he had no choice but to leave this wish to Jonathan at the last moment before he died. Jonathan went to Ukraine, the eastern European country where his grandfather was rescued, with old photos that had been yellowed after vicissitudes of life, looking for a town that almost disappeared in the bonfire of World War II and looking for a savior for his grandfather. At first, Jonathan met two eccentric local guides, Alex (Eugene Harz) and the grumpy old man Boris.
Since then, three guys with different personalities have started a strange journey. Moreover, Alex, who speaks weird English in Eastern Europe, has infinite admiration for this handsome guy from America and American pop culture. However, Alex didn't provide much help in Jonathan's trip to find his relatives. But the stubborn old man prepared a guide dog for Jonathan. But it seems that all this has not brought much progress to Jonathan's plan to find relatives. Constant difficulties, constant cultural conflicts and gradual running-in, let the three people finally find common ground that they can understand each other, and the three people gradually have a tacit understanding. This trip to find relatives eventually became a spiritual journey to change the fate of three people. ...

Elijah Wood, who successfully played the Hobbit in the The Lord of the Rings Trilogy that shocked the world, put on glasses this time and played a Jewish boy who was "looking for relatives" everywhere. However, his slightly melancholy and tearful eyes are still so familiar, and his weak and powerful personality is always so attractive. In fact, as early as before filming Sin City, Wood was ready to show his skill in the film. In this film, Jonathan, played by Elijah Wood, is a man with many shortcomings. American bad habits such as arrogance, clumsiness and ingratitude often appear. Moreover, he always dresses up in a formal suit and puts on a serious and mature posture. However, it seems that we can still see some loveliness of its Hobbit. At the same time, wood, who is still young, showed people his rapidly mature acting skills here, which had to impress people.
In addition, the strange and intermittent English of Alex, a native of Central and Eastern Europe, also embellished the film with many jokes and highlights.
In short, "a drop of water pays off a spring of water." This is a well-known truth, not to mention saving people. The film focuses on the grandson of the Israeli elderly rescued in World War II, looking for benefactors for the elderly, and tells the various relationships and unfinished love between two different times and two different regions. It focuses on the ruthless war and the eternal truth that lasts forever in the vicissitudes of life.
Director profile
Liv Schreiber, the director, was born in a family of performing artists, and his father was an excellent playwright. Besides, he has a mother who is a painter. Under the influence of such a strong artistic environment, Lifu also entered the entertainment circle as he wished. Although his mother stopped him from continuing to develop in this field for a period of time, his talent was verified in high school. He can be seen in Scream 2, Scream 3, Long-distance Love and the new version of Trek in Spy Network. But as an actor, it seems that I can't satisfy my pursuit of film art. Therefore, commanding the barrel became his ultimate ideal. At the same time, this "truth" also fully embodies the adaptation skills of Liv's plays. Liv basically retains the original style, and after boldly deleting a lot of historical and psychological descriptions in the original, it does not change the literariness of the story. The narrative style of the film has also been changed to a third-person narrative style that is more understandable to the audience.
Although it can only be regarded as a small film budget of $7 million in Hollywood, Schreiber still cherishes the opportunity to direct this film. Strive for perfection in every shot of the film.
