This
shocking documentary is a personal story of Henryk Schönker who is a Jew from
the emblematic town of Oświęcim – Auschwitz. In 1939, his father was the
chairman of the Jewish community, whose task was to organize the Bureau of
Emigration of Jews to Palestine at the behest of the German military
authorities several months before the idea of the creation of the Auschwitz
Camp. This chance for legal immigration to save thousands of people has been
completely unknown to the world at large. It poses difficult questions: in the
face of one nation’s plight, how other nations and individuals should behave.
Countries that could have saved Jews were silent, while individuals who did not
have those capabilities risked their own lives, facing the most difficult
choices for the sake of another person. The film is a creative documentary that
experimentally combines various types of visuals. It is a kind of journey into
the past creating short, silent impressions with imaginative staging and newly styled
use of archival material.The main characters of the series are a group of
friends; two of them work as police officers and the third one is a prosecutor.
They believe in the saying: one for all and all for one, just like the three
Musketeers. When the chief of Police is murdered the trio decide to declare
private war on the boss of the local mafia. Some of their actions are on the
brink of law; yet, they have to adjust to the methods mafia uses in order to
catch the criminals. The world in the series is gloomy and dark, however, there
is still a place for humour and a positive message. The main characters are an
example of people who still believe in justice, friendship and loyalty to one
another.
