Show detail Hide detail

EMOTIONAL ARITHMETIC is a fictional drama about three Holocaust survivors, based on Matt Cohen's novel of the same name. Melanie, a beautiful, emotionally-scarred woman in her fifties; Jakob, a heroic survivor of Auschwitz and Soviet psychiatric wards; and Christopher, a high-profile British novelist, now working as an entomologist, formed a life-long bond in the 1940s, while housed at Drancy. Drancy was a World War II transit camp established on the outskirts of Paris, which served as a holding station for prisoners, mostly Jews, en route to forced labour and extermination camps. Forty years after the liberation, the three survivors are reunited for the first time on Melanie's farm in Canada, a beautiful land surrounded by a picturesque paysage and a gorgeous blue lake. Melanie, now prone to nervous breakdowns, is married to David, her former university professor, whose compulsive infidelity and distracting cynicism have impacted their relationship. Christopher, Melanie's childhood friend from the camp, is still madly in love with her. Both Melanie and Christopher owe their lives to Jakob who sacrificed himself to save the two youngsters from the Nazi prison. As the shadows of the past are thrown upon the present, the story explores the intricate possibilities of love in the face of traumatic memories. <1h 39mn 33s>
