SON OF SAUL

Synopsis

The Oscar-winning drama is the story of two days in the life of Saul Ausländer, a Hungarian detainee who works as a member of a special team that removes the bodies of murdered detainees in one of the Auschwitz crematoria. Discovering the boy’s body when she considers her son, she tries the impossible – to save the boy’s body, find the rabbi and bury him with dignity. Although their team will be liquidated at any moment, Saul turns away from the survivors and their plans for resistance to save the remains of his son, whom he never took care of while he was alive.
