The film Adamah links the experience and trauma of the Shoah with the hope of a new beginning. Avodah, by contrast, envisions a social utopia in which labor becomes the engine of a shared future. How do these historical images resonate today, amid new traumas, social polarization, and the culture wars over memory?

Admission: 12 €, tickets via www.yorck.de/kinos/delphi-lux
