On a visit to Montreal several decades ago, a young man visited his uncles' egg distribution warehouse. In a dusty storeroom filled with clutter, he discovered stacks of matching stained-glass windows, each with a Star of David in the center.  By the time the building was sold some 20 years later, all of these windows had vanished from the storerooom.

 

​"The Windows on Rue Saint-Dominique" documentary follows the filmmaker's quest to find the windows and the surprising discoveries that unfold along the way.

 

While the film centers on the filmmaker's own family immigrant story from the last century, it also weaves a broader portrait of early Jewish immigrant life in Montreal, and addresses the issue of meaning we attribute to objects.
