« The film [Anne Trister] is fictional, but it has many elements common to the life of Léa Pool, who, like her heroine, was born in Switzerland of Jewish origin and who moved to Canada. [...] Pool's background made her question her identity. Her father was a stateless Jew in Switzerland, a country with only about 20,000 Jews in a population of about seven million. »
