A harrowing historical drama about musicians forced to use their art as a tool of survival and complicity within the machinery of genocide.

When a Jewish songstress is plucked from the stage and sent to Auschwitz, she and other musicians find themselves assigned to a terrible task—using their talents to soothe fellow prisoners who are sentenced to die in the gas chambers.
