Jacob the Liar

Jacob the Liar

0 - Default Title
Description
Trapped in a Polish Ghetto with thousands of other s facing starvation or deportation to the death camps, Jacob is detained one evening at Gestapo headquarters. Eavesdropping, he overhears a radio report about a nearby Russian victory. At first he is silent, but circumstances compel him to p on the good news of hope. In order to be believed, he feigns access to a hidden, strictly forbidden radio. Quickly he becomes a one-man bulwark against despair, a reluctant hero, but a tragic figure still-a man ultimately powerless to see or change the fate of his people. Jacob the Liar is a heartbreaking yet funny film that enlivens with the sheer power of its insight.
