A young Polish prisoner and his Jewish lover carry on a dangerous and torrid affair in the most unlikely of places: the confines of a concentration camp in 1944 Poland. Tomasz meticulously plans their successful escape and smuggles out photo evidence of the Final Solution while he’s at it. But before the war ends, they become separated and then convinced that the other has died. Thirty years later, Hannah, married with a grown child, sees a man who she believes to be Tomasz in a television interview. Inspired by actual events, this story follows Hannah’s burning desire to find Tomasz again. Adult content.
