Left luggage is a film about children who survived the holocaust, not a common subject. They have a heavy life specially Simcha, a 4 year old boy from a family of 5. In the beginning he refused to talk until he met his new nanny; Chaya, she teaches him to speak while walking in the park. Suddenly he imitates the sound of a duck. The family is Chaya really thankful. Chaya and Simcha have built up an amazing friendship. That friendship was the only positive part in the film. All the rest was drama, from the beginning to the end and back. Not a film I would choose to watch but we watched it at school. That is one part of the story, the other part is about Chaya and her family. Her father is obsessed by finding the luggage he buried somewhere in Antwerp. He drives his wife creasy whit his obsession. Overall it is a good film if you like drama.
