The film is told through the stories of two women: Nana, a holocaust survivor, and Daisy, her granddaughter. The two have a strong bond as Daisy frequently stays with Nana when her parents leave town, and their shared bibliophilia.
Daisy tells Nana of her blossoming romance with a young man named Ethan, and her problems fitting in at school due to her shyness and Jewish heritage. Nana tells the story of her young life in World War II, when she was sent to a ghetto and subsequently a concentration camp, where her two younger sisters were killed.
