Overview
On a ship heading back to Europe, a woman spots someone who seems to come from her past, stirring memories she can’t ignore. She confides in her husband about her wartime role at a concentration camp, and her account becomes a tense reckoning with guilt, self-justification, and what she claims she did for a prisoner.

Brutal, puzzling movie about memory and self-deception cut short by the director's untimely death. Interesting choice to not only reconstruct scenes using stills but also to insert sort of a meta-commentary voiceover describing some of the choices. The finished portions are gripping and visceral.
The original title of the film is Pasazerka.
