Treasure (2024) watch online

Treasure is a 2024 tragicomedy film directed by Julia von Heinz. Based on the 1999 novel Too Many Men by Lily Brett, the film stars Lena Dunham, Stephen Fry and Zbigniew Zamachowski. It’s the story of Ruth, (Lena Dunham), a young New York woman who, shortly after the collapse of the Iron Curtain, accompanies her father Edek (Stephen Fry) to Poland for a tour of his childhood home, the remnants of the family’s business, and the concentration camp at Auschwitz, which he miraculously survived while the rest of his large Jewish family perished. Edek uses his fluency in Polish to appear acclimated, and befriends anyone along the way. This zest for life camouflages a deep distrust for Polish people and his wariness over digging into the past so Ruth does not become another deceased loved one, which is not an irrational fear after the Kielce Pogrom in July 1946, which is explicitly referenced.

It was selected in the Berlinale Special Gala section at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival and was screened on 17 February 2024. The film was released in the United States on June 14, 2024 by Bleecker Street in co-partnership with FilmNation Entertainment. Among verified audience members, the film has an approval rating of 91%, with an average rating of 4.3/5.
