Treasure

Treasure (2024) is a bittersweet comedy-drama you can watch online on iFILM. Music journalist Ruth has long wanted to see Poland, the country her father left behind. In the early 1990s she finally talks him into making the trip together — back to the places he has spent a lifetime refusing to discuss.

Her father Edek is a Holocaust survivor, and he is in no hurry to go home. He cracks jokes, befriends the taxi drivers, haggles over everything and keeps steering his daughter's careful itinerary off course. Ruth wants to understand her family's past and her own place in it; Edek wants her to finally let go of things better left alone. That tug-of-war between them is the whole journey.

Director Julia von Heinz adapts Lily Brett's novel and hands the leads to Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry — an unlikely pairing that carries the film. A sad, oddly warm story about grown children and parents slowly learning to hear each other. Stream Treasure (2024) online on iFILM.
