14-year-old Gyurka, a Budapest Jew, is fated to endure stints in three concentration camps: Auschwitz-Birkenau, Buchenwald and Zeitz. Through a series of vignettes, Koltai follows his stoical attempts to survive barbaric conditions and experience moments of fleeting happiness to create a daring, affecting and superlative Holocaust drama.
