Inspired by true stories,

A Period of Consequences

is both a mystery

and a love affair.

This dramatic representation
was conceived, in part, from
interviews conducted in
Israel, America & Austria.

Set in a privileged, upper middle class neighborhood in Atlanta , Georgia in 1991, A Period of Consequences explores the lives of the next generation after WWII. By embarking on a psychological exploration into the emotional fallout of WWII -- as played out in the lives of the children of the survivors and perpetrators-- we share the inner world of two 30-somethings who have been emotionally traumatized by their inherited wounds.  

Mia Freedman, the female lead is the repressed, artistic daughter of an Auschwitz survivor and an escapee from a German work camp. Her father saved his life at 13 by joining the Russian army as a guerilla resistance fighter.  Her mother spent more than 3 years in the camps before American liberation.  

The male lead, Ryan Hine is the son of an Aryan beauty who was kidnapped from her home and forced to reproduce ideal children for the Third Reich from Lebensborn castle. Ryan’s father was a high ranking official in Third Reich characterized as a “friendly murderer” – as he only shot people from behind.  

Until Ryan meets Mia he has been denied the truth about his family’s past. Mia, by contrast, is terrorized almost daily. Their love affair forces both of them uncover family secrets, discuss the forbidden and embark on a journey toward healing.
