Exile Music

When Germany annexes Austria in 1938, a young girl’s perfect childhood—filled with love, art, and storytelling—comes to an end. Since Orly’s family is Jewish, her parents flee Vienna, following their older son who has left ahead of them. But the world’s nations are barring their doors to the refugees, and only Bolivia is willing to take them in. Faced with its alien culture, Orly’s father seeks solace in his music, while her mother secludes herself in her kitchen. Only Orly is willing to explore the country that has granted her refuge.
