Oscar-nominated Polish director Agnieszka Holland’s (In Darkness; The Wire; House of Cards) breakthrough film was the independent hit of the year in 1991, and won the Golden Globe for best foreign film. It tells the astonishing true story of a Jewish teenager, Solomon Perel (on whose memoirs the film was based) who managed to escape the Holocaust through a remarkable chain of events. Separated from his family during the early days of the Second World War, he conceals his identity and is drafted into Hitler’s army.
