Laura Fraser, most recently seen as the ricin-ingesting Lydia on TV’s Breaking Bad, stars in the 1998 drama Left Luggage.
Set in Antwerp, Belgium in the early 1970s, Left Luggage is the story of Chaja (Fraser), a rebellious college student struggling to accept her Jewish identity, particularly as her relationship with her parents, both concentration camp survivors, is strained. A family friend finds her a job as a nanny for the Kalmans, a Hassidic family with five children.
She has little patience for their strict household rules but soon finds herself drawn to Simcha, their 4-year-old son who has yet to speak. Through her love for Simcha, she finds common ground with Mrs. Kalman (Isabella Rossellini, Blue Velvet) and learns respect for a culture steeped in tradition and religious values.
Directed by Jeroen Krabbé (who also appears in the film) and produced in the Netherlands, the unrated English-language Left Luggage co-stars Maximilian Schell, Marianne Sägebrecht and Topol of Fiddler on the Roof fame.
The unrated English-language has been out-of-print on DVD for several years prior to this Hen’s Tooth release.
