In the last store in a defunct shopping mall, 91-year-old Sonia Warshawski – great-grandmother, businesswoman, and Holocaust survivor – runs the tailor shop she’s owned for more than 30 years. But when she’s served an eviction notice, the specter of retirement prompts Sonia to resist her harrowing past as a refugee and witness to genocide.
Big Sonia provides a light-hearted yet straightforward account of her post-holocaust life and the horrific struggles she endured and triumphed over during a very dark period of history. Sonia and her remaining family (and friends) are on a mission to socialize what really happened and to help educate not only today's youth on the topic, but to also spread the power of love and how we are all empowered to make a difference in life. Great movie, will bring tears, but worth every minute, even while the end credits are rolling!
