The film transports us to the Jewish ghetto of Warsaw in 1940, where thousands of people were isolated by a wall from the rest of the population, left to famine and epidemics. And where, nevertheless, art flourished: a group of actors, on a freezing winter night and lit by carbide lamps, performed the play "Love in its place" by Jerzy Jurandot. The play, the performance and the performers' lives intermingle in this story, in which a life-and-death dilemma shakes the existence of its protagonists. (Seville European Film Festival)
