Spoilers ahead
In 1944, in the bleak context of German-occupied Poland, a young boy, merely 13 years old, is torn away from his parents as he is forced into a concentration camp. In a desperate attempt to reunite with his family, he tries to sneak back in after the gates close but is firmly restrained by four guards. Suddenly, the gates begin to buckle inward, seemingly drawn by some magnetic force, before the boy is knocked unconscious by a guard’s brutal strike.
