1st Prize - Vienna Film Festival. Grand Prize - Venice FiIm Festival. It is wartime - 1944, and Europe is brutaIized by the horror of Nazi aggression and inhumanity. In the tiny Czech village of Terezin, the Nazis plan a propaganda coup to reshape the internationaI opinion. ln a master scheme to show a caring face of Nazism, Hitler has given the viIIage to Jewish settlers as a pIace 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. In return he wiII receive a generous fee and guaranteed return to Paris. But Antoine becomes driven with the need to tell the worId the truth, regardless of personaI risk. Although in mime he knows his lips must be seaIed, now, as never before, his voice must be heard. |
