Virtual Event

Beginning Sunday, October 3
120 minutes, German and French with English subtitles
A young Jewish Belgian man is arrested by SS soldiers and barely escapes execution by swearing that he is not Jewish, but Persian. His assigned mission is to teach Farsi to the officer in charge of the camp’s kitchen who dreams of opening a restaurant in Persia once the war is over. The man finds himself having to invent a language he doesn’t know, word by word. Based on true events.
