The WINDOWS on
Rue Saint-Dominique
A documentary film by Simcha Shtull
I live in a very small house, but my windows
look out on a very large world . . . (Confucius)
SYNOPSIS
An immigrant Montreal family, a synagogue and an egg warehouse
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.
​
"The Windows on Rue Saint-Dominique" tells the history of early Jewish Montreal through the personal story of the filmmaker's immigrant grandparents. The film is the story of 30 rectangular and 6 round windows that had -- decades earlier -- brought light and warmth into a synagogue, and with the passage of time, found new homes and new meanings.
