(Saul Fia)

This grim depiction of Auschwitz, in the latter days of WWII, is from the viewpoint of Saul, a Jewish prisoner immune to either hope or fear, who is determined to carry out a last desperate act of moral survival. We see only what Saul sees. The matter-of-factness of the horror only makes it more unsettling.
