Jewish Culture in Copenhagen, together with Film and Whisky, presents a powerful cinematic experience
SODA – Israel, 2024
In 1950s Israel, in a small town inhabited by Holocaust survivors, the story of Shalom unfolds—a former partisan who leads his local community. When Eva, a beautiful seamstress with a mysterious past, arrives with her daughter, she sparks both fascination and suspicion. Rumors that she may have been a Kapo in Auschwitz place Shalom in a dramatic dilemma between love and loyalty to his community’s painful memories.
Inspired by the director’s own family history, Soda offers a profound exploration of trauma, morality, and hope. The film had its international premiere at the Venice Film Festival in 2024 and has since moved audiences around the world. Featuring prominent Israeli actors such as Lior Raz (Fauda, Gladiator 2) and Rotem Sela (Beauty and the Baker), Soda delivers both artistic power and emotional resonance.
Experience a film by Erez Tadmor (Matchmaking, Children of Nobody) that not only tells a story but also invites reflection and conversation about the legacy of the past and humanity’s ability to find light in darkness.
