Freda Cooper talks to actors Stephen Fry and Lena Dunham about their new film, Treasure, which is in cinemas right now.
TREASURE is an impactful and moving film from writer/director Julia Von Heinz based on the book Too Many Men by Lily Brett. The film is the third in von Heinz’s ‘Aftermath Trilogy’ exploring the legacy of Germany’s Nazi past following 2013’s Hanna’s Journey and And Tomorrow the Entire World, Germany’s 2020 Oscar submission. It stars Lena Dunham (“Girls,” Sharp Stick) and Stephen Fry (V For Vendetta, Wilde).
A father-daughter road trip set in 1990s Poland, TREASURE follows Ruth (Dunham), an American music journalist, and her father, Edek (Fry), a charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor, on a journey to his homeland. While Ruth is eager to make sense of her family’s past, Edek embarks on the trip with his own agenda. This emotional, funny culture clash of two New Yorkers exploring post-socialist Poland is a powerful example of how reconnecting with family and the past can be an unexpected treasure.
