In 1942, spirited Belgian Gilles, caught by the SS with fellow Jews, lands in a German concentration camp. Avoiding execution, he convinces the guards that he hails from Persia.

As their unconventional bond grows, Gilles feels the constant threat of exposure, aware that one wrong move could shatter his daring deception.
