The JCC of the North Shore is screening “Lost Transport” as part of its 10th annual Film Festival. The festival, which runs through May 24, features movies from around the world with a Jewish connection.
In the spring of 1945, at the end of World War II, a group of German soldiers abandons a deportation train near a small German village occupied by the Red Army. Three of the Jewish prisoners of the train, Russian sniper Vera, village girl Winnie, and Jewish-Dutch Simone, are forced to overcome their distrust and resentment of one another and work together to survive as an unexpected friendship emerges between them in this subtle and impactful film.
