Occupied France, 1942. Gilles is arrested by SS soldiers alongside other Jews and sent to a camp in Germany. He narrowly avoids sudden execution by swearing to the guards that he is not Jewish, but Persian. This lie temporarily saves him, but Gilles gets assigned a life-or-death mission: to teach Farsi to Head of Camp Koch, who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran once the war is over. Through an ingenious trick, Gilles manages to survive by inventing words of "Farsi" every day and teaching them to Koch.

In this gripping film, the main character tries to deceive the entire Nazi camp in a desperate attempt to survive.

فیلمێکی تایبەت بوو. دروستکردنێکی زمانێکی تایبەت بەخۆت چێژێکی تایبەتی هەیە!

Weird emphasis on remembering the prisoners, even though we spent barely any time with them. Great performance by the main antagonist

It's a good moral tale taking place in the holocaust

Brilliant acting! Phenomenal performances by Lars Eidinger and Nahuel Perez Biscayart. Definitely a must watch! Highly recommended.

Interesting story
