November, 1942, Warsaw, Poland. Just two months before, 350,000 were taken away to be exterminated by the Nazi's in what was called the "Great Action." In the Warsaw Ghetto, there are rumors of revolt.
In this remake of "In the Presence of Mine Enemies," we are concerned with the the week prior to the revolt, particularly the story (fictional) of one family—Rabbi Adam Heller (Armin Mueller-Stahl), his daughter Rachel (Elina Lowensohn) and son Paul (Don McKellar)—and their physical, emotional and spiritual struggle to survive during the 1943 uprising.
Shot in Montreal, Quebec, exactly eight days prior to the 53 anniversary of the January revolt.
