EMOTIONAL ARITHMETICS

SYNOPSIS

Based on an award-winning novel by Matt Cohen, Emotional Arithmetic charts the fateful reunion, in the eighties, of three survivors of the notorious French “transit” camp, Drancy: Melanie, an unhappy wife obsessed with record-keeping, Jakob, a poet and the ultimate survivor, and Christopher, a shy academic who has repressed both his memories and his childhood love for Melanie. Memories and feelings emerge, reshape, collide during a night of conflict, sadness and ultimately, healing.
