Storyline

It is a very personal, poetic tale of a deaf man with a phenomenal memory who takes the most difficult journey of his life in order to ease the anguish of his wartime experiences. It is not just a wartime story but an account of how even the smallest gesture can save a life. The story presents completely unknown facts about the existence of a failed Bureau of Emigration of Jews to Palestine in Auschwitz town, run by father of Schönker.He finds his hiding places and bunkers still standing, bringing back horrific memories. The film emphasizes the role of Poles in saving persecuted Jews and indifference of the international community at large in the face of Nazi threats.
