In adapting Brett's novel for the screen, director and co-writer Julia von Heinz omits the Hoss material. 'Treasure' retains the father-daughter journey narrative, with Ruth Rothwax, played by Lena Dunham, consumed with self-loathing and a tetchy relationship with her father Edek, a Polish Jew played by Stephen Fry.
The film 'Treasure' is criticized for being packed with emotion and emoting at the expense of story. It centers around Ruth's desire to reclaim the fine China owned by her family from a poverty-stricken family in Lodz, and the differences in perspective between Ruth and Edek about their past trauma.
