Then I Sentenced Them All to Death

A bleak wartime tragedy about moral compromise and scapegoating, where a vulnerable outsider becomes the village's sacrificial victim to appease occupying forces.

A young boy is adopted by a priest and his wife during the Nazi occupation of Romania during the Second World War. He befriends the village idiot, who's despised by everyone else. When a German is killed in the last days of the war, the village is threatened with total destruction unless the murderer is handed over. The villagers decide to hand over the idiot.
