She has a complex relationship with her parents, who both survived the Nazi concentration camps.

Audience Reviews for Left Luggage

Jan 16, 2008

I always find movies about other cultures fascinating. In this case, it gives you a peek in the lives of Hasidic Jews. You get to watch Chaja find herself as a young woman. The ending brought tears to my eyes!
