Details: Original soundtrack to the Oscar-winning Polish film featuring music from and inspired by the movie. Includes tracks by John Coltrane, Trini Lopez, Fats Domino, Neil Sedaka, Paul Anka and many others. Set in Poland in 1962, Ida is about a young woman on the verge of taking vows as a Catholic nun. Orphaned as an infant during the German occupation of World War II, she must now meet her aunt. The former Communist state prosecutor and only surviving relative tells her that her parents were Jewish. The two women embark on a road trip into the Polish countryside to learn the fate of their family. Called a "compact masterpiece" and an "eerily beautiful road movie", the film has also been said to "contain a cosmos of guilt, violence and pain", even if certain historical events (German occupation of Poland, the Holocaust and Stalinism) remain unsaid. Ida won the 2015 Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film, becoming the first Polish film to do so.
