Over three generations, EVOLUTION follows the fate of a Jewish family from 1945 to the present day. The film is divided into three parts and yet closely interwoven: A little girl is found in an abandoned gas chamber, who has miraculously survived. Decades later in Budapest, Éva, already somewhat demented, is asked by her daughter Léna for birth certificates and identification papers - but all the official documents she possesses are forged to hide her Jewish origins. And then there is Éva's grandson Jonás. He has just moved to Berlin with his mother and doesn't even know who or what he is anymore - the only thing he knows: that as a Jew he felt excluded at school. Éva, Léna, Jonas: grandmother, mother and son, simultaneously past, present and future.
