This ensemble burlesque musical comedy revolves around a group of people who work in a shopping mall in 1980s Belgium. The daughter of Holocaust survivors known for her feminist perspective, director Akerman includes the themes of feminism, consumerism, and Jewish identity in this small-scale production that offers a contrast to big technicolor MGM musicals like The Wizard of Oz (see above), while also exploring radical happiness and hope in the face of painful history and memories.
