    Desc: It's Harder for Yekkes: Directed by Yuval Gidron. Yuval Gidron's first documentary film follows his family's journey in 2013 to Berlin and Frankfurt, in the footsteps of his father's German ancestors. The story is told from Yuval's point of view - who tries, during the course of the film, to understand his father's motives to take the whole family on this journey, as he was born in Israel and Germany is not his native homeland. Through the lens, the visits to the cemeteries and monuments, the encounters with the German reality, and mostly witnessing the process his father goes through during this trip, makes him look differently at the whole experience. This is a film about family and memory. About Germany of today, and Germany of 80 years ago. A film with humor and emotion and in particular a film about a father, a son and the camera between them.
