Аушвиц, 1944 год. Саул Аусландер — еврейский пленный и член зондеркоманды. Его работа — сопровождать в недолгий путь узников, которые прибывают в лагерь беспрестанно. Потом — зачищать следы их присутствия и ждать новых. Среди тысяч людей, проходящих через газовую камеру, один выживает на считанные минуты. Саул узнает в нем своего сына и решает во что бы то ни стало похоронить тело по всем правилам. Теперь это его единственная цель в расплавленном, так непохожем на жизнь пекле лагеря смерти. Уберечь тело от топки, спрятать его, разыскать раввина, — задачи практически невыполнимые и безумные на фоне мясорубки, жернова которой Саулу приходится крутить самому, чтобы выжить. В лагере зреет восстание, Саул становится слишком уязвимым, но он думает только о сыне… которого, возможно, у него никогда не было.

Every day life for young men and women in Budapest is on display. All "teenage savages" at the time when communism disappeared in Eastern Europe, they now view the world in a sinister way. Examples: A woman becomes irritated with a man who has left his dog. A father has an argument with his wife about an alarming (to the parents) arousal of sexuality in their 10 y.o. daughter. A young girl is distressed by her growing realization that she is more and more like her sadistic grandmother. A conversation between two guys, apparently about an old car, takes an unexpected turn.
