This moving story of war and survival spans three decades and continents as it follows Jakob Beer (Stephen Dillane) from his childhood in Nazi-occupied Poland to adult success as an author in his adopted country, Canada. As a small boy, Jakob saw soldiers murder his parents and abduct his beloved sister. Rescued by a compassionate Greek archaeologist, Jakob devotes his adult life to keeping their memory alive through his writing. Rade Sherbedgia, Rosamund Pike, Ayelet Zurer.
