L'Héritier

L'HÉRITIER est un long-métrage documentaire sur Georges Jorisch, le grand-père de la réalisatrice, un survivant de l'Holocauste qui recherche les tableaux de Gustav Klimt volés à sa famille par les Nazis.

THE HEIR follows Canadian director Édith Jorisch as she discovers the incredible hidden story of her grandfather, Georges Jorisch. Born into the Jewish intellectual community in Vienna, Austria, Georges grew up among a family of great art collectors whose vast collection included the works of Gustav Klimt. In 1938, the paintings were stolen by German troops and the family taken into the Nazi internment camps. Georges Jorisch survived the war and immigrated to Montreal. 70 years later, seeking justice for his family and children, he sets out to recover the Klimt paintings that were taken from them. Edith Jorisch is a young Canadian film director form Montreal. L'héritier ( The Heir) is her fist documentary feature.
