Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Pepe Danquart tells the true story of 9-year-old Srulik, who escaped from the Warsaw ghetto in 1942 and learned to survive in the nearby woods, until the harshness of the winter forced him to seek shelter. Changing his name to Jurek, he passed himself off as a Christian war orphan. A superb film adaptation based on Uri Orlev’s 2004 novel, featuring exceptional performances and stunning cinematography.
