Love Gets a Room

It's 1942 in the Warsaw Ghetto. This is a behind the scene of a play which a group of actors are struggling to perform. Lead actress Stefcia (Clara Rugaard) is struggling to survive like everyone else. Two guys are fighting over her with an escape plan swirling over them. Out of the blue, a Nazi commander walks in and sits in the audience.

My initial take is that this is an askew angle at a familiar picture. The Warsaw Ghetto is a familiar setting and lots of this has been done before. I don't think that I've seen a story about a play being performed in that place. Of course, there is going to be something about the art of acting saving the soul of humanity. That is the other familiar part of the movie. Nevertheless, I am still taken by that sentimental tripe. It is something we hope is true and this movie gets me in the end.
