Oma & Bella

Oma & Bella offers an intimate glimpse into the world of Regina Karolinski (Oma) and the now deceased Bella Katz, two friends living together in Berlin. Having survived the Holocaust and remaining in Germany after the War, it is through the food they cook that they remember their childhoods and answer questions of heritage, memory, and identity. Created by Oma's granddaughter Alexa, the film captures their ongoing struggle to retain their past while remaining engaged in the present. “For everyone who had a Jewish grandmother, or wanted one, there’s Oma & Bella to help them remember” (Variety).
