Summer in Ivye

Sign in to track and rate this movie.

An American choreographer stages a large-scale theater production in the tiny town in Belarus after discovering the fate of her family who lived there. She brings together an unlikely mix of actors, dancers, musicians and local townspeople to recreate scenes of life in the vibrant Jewish town of Ivye before World War II. This film looks with warmth and humor at the ability of people to transcend differences in language, religion and culture to retell a story that had been kept secret for over 50 years.
