A SWEET SECRET

Narrative Film

In Development

A Sweet Secret is the story of Sonia Wachstein’s forced exile and her rediscovery of the feminist play A Sweet Secret from 1927, which she participated in during her childhood in Vienna. Sonia’s journey serves as a feminist narrative of a woman who survived the Holocaust, and shares values about the importance of women’s independence and bodily autonomy. Ultimately, the rediscovery and restaging of the play is a metaphor for the fact that yes, fascism can kill people, but not their ideas.
