As the dark specter of German occupation envelops Budapest in 1944, József, played by Ben Kingsley, a Jewish radio repair shop owner, confronts a heartrending choice: he must send his two young employees, Elek Cohen and Ferenc Jacobson, portrayed by Jonas Armstrong and Simon Kunz, back to their families.
