| 1st Prize - Vienna Film Festival. Grand Prize - Venice FiIm FestivaI. lt is wartime - 1944, and Europe is brutaIized by the horror of Nazi aggression and inhumanity. ln the tiny Czech vilIage of Terezin, the Nazis pIan a propaganda coup to reshape the international opinion. In a master scheme to show a caring face of Nazism, HitIer has given the village to Jewish settIers as a place where they can Iive in freedom, reassuring a Red Cross deIegation - and the worId - of their peaceful intentions towards Jews. To provide a convincing "show," the Nazis have plucked the great French mime, Antoine Moreau (Tom Courtenay), from his waning career and ordered him to put on the greatest show of his life. The Reich spares no expense in providing the finest sets, orchestra and costumes. ln return he wilI 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. AIthough in mime he knows his Iips must be seaIed, now, as never before, his voice must be heard. |
