The Ice Cream Man
Shortly after the Nazi invasion of the Netherlands, a popular Jewish ice cream parlor
owner, Ernst Cahn, finds himself targeted by the infamous “Butcher of Lyon,” Klaus Barbie.
As his world crumbles, “The Ice Cream Man” must choose between resistance and death…a
choice that will reverberate throughout the country. Based on actual events.
Avenue of the Giants
A 74-year-old man carrying a haunting secret forms a friendship with a lonely teenager in a
poignant tale of healing across generations. Herbert Heller, now a toy store owner in Marin
County, California, survived the Holocaust as a child, escaping from Auschwitz-Birkenau
at just 15 years old. When diagnosed with a terminal illness, he connects with Abbey, a
teenager grappling with her own struggles, and together they share their stories, forging a
bond that leads them both toward healing.
