FILM INFORMATION
The film tells about the events of 1942 in occupied Europe. Gilles Cremieux, a Belgian of Jewish origin, being in a concentration camp, pretends to be a Persian - for him this is the only way to stay alive. This lie really saves his life, but Gilles can't even imagine at what cost. German soldiers, satisfied with such a rare catch, bring Gilles to Klaus Koch, a cook in a concentration camp, who dreams, as soon as the war ends, to leave for Iran and open a restaurant there. Koch is looking for a real Persian who will teach him to speak Persian. This is how the story of Gilles Cremier and Klaus Koch begins - a Jew and a German, a prisoner and a jailer, a student and a teacher.
