Set in the winter of 1943, Sonson embarks on a life-changing mission into the Warsaw Ghetto to save his sister-in-law from being deported to Auschwitz. Director Jasmin Dizdar skillfully creates a historic frame for his intimate tale supported by a nuanced performance of Harvey Keitel.
"We are honored to be handling the North American theatrical release of this impressive and important feature," said Eric Parkinson, C.E.O. of Hannover House. "The principal production team of Gabrielle de Mercur, Sylvia Caminer, Mike Riley and of course, director Jasmin Dizdar have been extremely helpful in structuring a specialized release strategy for the film that builds on a grass-roots campaign to reach a motivated audience. The initial response has been superb, and we feel that the customized and targeted release model developed for this film is well-positioned for success."
