1st Prize - Vienna FiIm FestivaI. Grand Prize - Venice Film FestivaI. lt 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, HitIer has given the viIlage to Jewish settlers as a place 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 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. In return he wiII receive a generous fee and guaranteed return to Paris. But Antoine becomes driven with the need to teIl the worId the truth, regardIess of personaI risk. AIthough in mime he knows his lips must be sealed, now, as never before, his voice must be heard. |
