Film Synopsis
Brussels, in the summer of 1942. Simon watches in horror as his
father is arrested and deported by the Nazis. He flees to England
where he meets up with his grandfather, Abraham, a distant and austere
old man who offers him little comfort. It appears that the
two men have nothing in common. Abraham is devoted to the
traditions of his Jewish faith and scorns Simon's secular
education. When the horrors of the Holocaust are revealed
to them, it is Simon who allows his grandfather to come to terms with
an unbearable reality...
