This documentary covers the journey of Genie Milgrom and her decades
long quest for her Jewish lineage. Genie was born in Havana, Cuba and raised in Miami with a full Roman Catholic schooling from grade school through university level. She was always burdened with a deep-rooted feeling of not belonging in her Spanish Catholic environment.
Her story follows many twists and turns as she makes the difficult decision to convert to Judaism from the midst of a traditional Catholic family from Spain and chooses a traditional route for her future.
Her family and friends are shaken to the core while Genie becomes more and more convinced that her family was Jewish in the Iberian Peninsula, centuries before. Her chase for the “breadcrumbs” that were dropped by her ancestors led her to Medieval Archives and several countries in Europe to untangle the web of secrecy that her ancestors had created to protect themselves during very dark times in Europe.
Together with her husband Michael, an Ashkenaz of Romanian origins, she finally reaches the truth of her family in an engaging film, spanning the globe that is not to be missed.

A documentary traversing the three centuries that gave birth to Hispanic America, exploring the history, art, music, and religious syncretism that blossomed from the encounter of two worlds, creating a civilization vibrant and beautiful like no other.
