It is 1939, in a Jewish village (shtetl) in Soviet Ukraine, across the river from Eastern Poland, which is occupied by Nazi Germany.  We witness life in the shtetl over a 2-year period, as it changes “ownership,” and as the various factions of people interact (the Hassidim, the less religious, those who are pro-German, pro-Soviet, pro-Czech). Who are they? A riveting drama and excellent black-and white-cinematography.  In Yiddish and Ukranian, with subtitles.
