Adriana Altaras is a director, actress and writer, being from a country, which no longer exists: Yugoslavia. She is the daughter of Jewish partisans who fought for Tito and later started a new life in post-war Germany. In this lovely film she tells the story of her "high maintenance family". Adriana's domestic situation appears unusual at first glance, but can be seen as typical of the generation born after the War. Despite a high standard of living, the wounds from her parents' past can be felt, even until today, and the search for her own roots are her constant companion. (Berlinale)

Tito's Glasses offers an interesting and compelling look into the life of Adriana Altaras as she tries to dig into her and her family's past through relatives and friends in order to come to terms with it. I was most intrigued by the passages from Italy with Adriana's aunt, Elena, and the trip with her sons to Split. As the documentary is conceived to some extent as a kind of road movie, it has a nice international feel, enhanced by the many languages spoken during it. Even though it is a rather unremarkable film at first sight, one I came across by chance, I can highly recommend it. Besides the biographical line, you also learn something of history and see different parts of Europe.
