The Tale of Fanny Schulein and a Fateful Gift
Detroit in an icy tunnel. Fanny Schulein, a German Jewish refugee, builds a life in America after fleeing Hitler. The narrative follows her hopes in writing, a camera prize, family tragedy, and the haunting bowl of fruit on the table as a symbol of safety. The tale ends with letters from home and a double suicide instruction from the US.
