ADAM

Haunted by the recent inexplicable suicide of his wife Bella, renowned Israeli writer and Holocaust survivor Adam Schumacher decides to put Bella's story in writing and publish it as his final novel. As he is confronted with the onset of dementia, Adam reluctantly reaches out to Max Vérité, his former publisher and Bella's old lover. Together the writer and his one-time publisher set out on a journey through their memories of Bella, the child prodigy harpist they'd met in a convent in France, where they were hiding from the Nazis. But the more the story progresses, it becomes evident both have different, sometimes conflicting memories. While Max insists on the accuracy of the narrative, Adam allows a more fluid, intuitive remembering, which corresponds with his deteriorating condition. And so the story of Bella, Adam and Max is narrated back to life as a patchwork of both their mismatching memories, at times, a mere figment of their imagination, with all its beauty and pain.
