Three Stories of Galicia

A Jewish man whose family chose to save the life of its worst enemy. An Ukrainian woman who endured the theft of her children to save her country. A Polish priest who risked everything to end the sectarian hatred that tore at his parish. They all came from a land where the World War II never ended - Galicia. The people who lived there were Jews, Ukrainians and Poles. When the Second World War erupted, Galicia was caught in the ruthless struggle between Hitler’s Third Reich and Stalin’s Red Army. In their quest to rule the world, those two empires made use of the ethnic jealousies between Ukrainians, Jews and Poles, and fueled some of modern history’s worst ethnic conflicts. In the epic settings of the events that changed the course of modern history, the fim reveals the intimate stories of three courageous individuals who took it upon themselves to preserve the dignity of the human spirit.
