How long can a person keep a secret? Mariette did so for 70 years, hiding the Jewish origins of her family from her well-heeled peers in post-WWII Buenos Aires. Now, at a threshold in her life, Mariette decides to speak up. A documentary that follows the perspectives of four generations and examines the limits of individual and collective identities.
