1st Prize - Vienna Film Festival. Grand Prize - Venice Film FestivaI. It is wartime - 1944, and Europe is brutalized by the horror of Nazi aggression and inhumanity. ln the tiny Czech viIlage of Terezin, the Nazis plan a propaganda coup to reshape the international opinion. ln a master scheme to show a caring face of Nazism, Hitler has given the viIlage to Jewish settlers as a pIace where they can live in freedom, reassuring a Red Cross delegation - and the world - of their peacefuI intentions towards Jews. To provide a convincing "show," the Nazis have pIucked the great French mime, Antoine Moreau (Tom Courtenay), from his waning career and ordered him to put on the greatest show of his Iife. The Reich spares no expense in providing the finest sets, orchestra and costumes. ln return he wiII receive a generous fee and guaranteed return to Paris. But Antoine becomes driven with the need to telI the world the truth, regardless of personal risk. Although in mime he knows his Iips must be seaIed, now, as never before, his voice must be heard. |
