 "October 1944, 
 Auschwitz-Birkenau. Saul Ausländer is a Hungarian 
 member of the Sonderkommando, the group 
 of Jewish prisoners isolated from the camp 
 and forced to assist the Nazis in the machinery 
 of large-scale extermination. While working 
 in one of the crematoriums, Saul discovers 
 the body of a boy he takes for his son. As the 
 Sonderkommando plans a rebellion, Saul decides 
 to carry out an impossible task: save the 
 child's body from the flames, find a rabbi to 
 recite the mourner's Kaddish and offer the 
 boy a proper burial."\n
 \n
 "Son of Saul...plung[es] 
 its viewer directly into the heart of a 
 concentration camp." \n
