Historic footage of the Nazis, drawings made by Jewish artists from inside the deportation camp, children's drawings of Nazi concentration camps that move and develop on screen, colorful reenacted scenes of her rescue, and Eva's family photographs are compiled to tell the story of a girl who survived the Holocaust.

A Story about a Bad Dream is an account of the Holocaust told from the perspective of a young girl, who makes sense of the world from her parents' expressions and her own feelings of discomfort and unhappiness.

Honest and unabashed, the girl Evie offers a unique and highly personal look at the brutality played out during the Second World War.

Evie, like most children, believes her parents control the universe, so she's terrified and shocked when she sees them powerless to Nazi orders.

Drawing directly from what's written in the diary, the narrator's vocabulary is too immature to be affected by political correctness, cliché, and prejudice.
