Gilles, a young Belgian man, is arrested by the SS alongside other Jews and sent to a concentration camp in Germany. He narrowly avoids execution by swearing to the guards that he is not Jewish, but Persian. This lie temporarily saves him, but then Gilles is assigned a seemingly untenable mission: to teach Persian to Koch, the officer in charge of the camp's kitchen, who dreams of opening a restaurant in Persia (Iran) once the war is over.
Vadim Perelman directs the gripping drama with an assured hand, deftly mixing suspense, laughter and tears. The war-of-words film rests on a truly memorable performance by Nahuel Pérez.
