19.91

The eponymous number shows the difference between the age of both protagonists of Emilia Śniegoska's documentary. A 19-year-old German girl visits 91-year-old Zofia, a survivor of the Auschwitz concentration camp. The relation between the women is ambiguous – we may only guess what is more important there – whether it is curiosity (for a young German it is one of the last chances to meet an eyewitness of the cruel history), or the need to be close to a fellow human being.
