The Euphoria of Being (2019)
Alone, Eva Fahidi returned home to Hungary after WWII. At 20 years of age, she had survived Auschwitz Birkenau, while 49 members of her family were murdered, including her mother, father, and little sister. Today, at age 90, Eva is asked to participate in a dance theatre performance about her life's journey. This would be her first experience performing on a stage. Reka, the director, imagines a duet between Eva and a young, internationally acclaimed dancer, Emese. Reka wants to see these two women, young and old, interact on stage, to see how their bodies, and stories, can intertwine. Eva agrees immediately. Three women - three months - a story of crossing boundaries. Whilst the extraordinary moments of Eva's life are distilled into theater scenes, a truly wonderful and powerful relationship forms among the three women.

If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
