Treasure stars Lena Dunham and Stephen Fry discussed their new movie, which deals with the lasting impact of the Holocaust.
. Bleecker Street’s film focuses on a father and daughter traveling to Poland for the first time since the father survived the Holocaust. The

It’s very understandable. You don’t want to engage with it.
Stephen put it really well, which is, “There are films that are about history with a capital H, and those need to exist.” And I can’t take credit for that quote. That’s all him. “And then there are films about the people that have been affected by history and who come after history.” I think for me, I really did feel my job was to just stand there and sort of be as much as I could as scaffold for this incredibly affecting performance of Stephen’s.
Stephen, you talked about modeling your performance on your grandfather, and I love the little touches that you both put into the father-daughter relationship. I love how he’s always embarrassing her and talking her up. It is a very cute dynamic. How was it developing that back and forth with Lena?: It was made easy by the fact that I just fell in love with her the moment we met. Of course, she brought with her the amazing history of her career, which is so stellar. Girls knocked my socks off.
