Sunshine
The story of a Jewish family that lived in Hungary for three generations, rising from humble beginnings to positions of wealth and power in the Austro-Hungarian Empire as it crumbled around them. The patriarch becomes a well-known judge, but he is torn when his government backs anti-Jewish persecution. It helps him become a champion fencer and Olympic hero, but his son converts to Christianity in order to help him. Eventually, the grandson comes to the conclusion that he must always be loyal to himself and his family. He has been through war, revolution, loss, betrayal, and more.
