They thought they left the pains of war and hatred behind them. But the wounds of the past do not fade easily.
Poland, 1945. Joseph Tauber may have survived the atrocities of war, but he does not feel grateful for his new chance in life. After his father was killed in a concentration camp, and his brother died in his arms during a death march, Joseph has nowhere to go. Left with no other choice, he enlists in the Polish army, but after being framed for a heinous crime, Joseph is forced flee.
Czechoslovakia, 1945. Adele Pletzker is finally free to come out of hiding and embrace her Jewish identity. But as antisemitism still runs rampant in her village, it is far from safe for her to simply exist. She finds comfort in Leo, a young Jewish man suffering from the same situation, but as the threat to their lives becomes violently real, the two must run before it's too late.
Jerusalem, 1990s. After Joe is injured in a terrorist attack in a synagogue trying to save a woman from gunfire, he meets Adele, a kind caretaker sent to help him recover. As they get to know each other and discover similar scars from the terrible war, they form a deep connection only survivors can understand. But the more they will uncover about each other, the more they will learn they are bound by secrets they are not ready to face.
What We Lost in the Shadows is a poignant and heartbreaking post-war family saga that explores how the traumas of the past continue to haunt future generations and how the power of love might heal the worst wounds.
