2025
Dora is 84. She has lived through war, displacement, and loss—yet never lost her spirit. Each day she tends to her home and garden, preserving her dignity through familiar rhythm. In her wardrobe a suitcase and a pair of yellow shoes wait quietly. Dora’s Yellow Shoes is a poetic short documentary about memory, resilience, and the quiet rituals that hold a life together.
