Focus
Everything is about to become very clear.
A sober, character-driven examination of prejudice and persecution that traces how ordinary people become targets of hatred and how solidarity emerges from shared vulnerability.
In the waning months of World War II, a man and his wife are mistakenly identified as Jews by their anti-Semitic Brooklyn neighbors. Suddenly the victims of religious and racial persecution, they find themselves aligned with a local Jewish immigrant in a struggle for dignity and survival.
