Transport from Paradise

Film set in the Terezín ghetto is based on the book by Arnošt Lustig Night and Hope (Noc a naděje). On a mosaic of human fates the authors picture the grievous atmosphere of the ghetto and try to show that even despite enormous humiliation people do not lose their dignity and strength to resist. The opening sequences of the film show Terezín as a peaceful and happy town with well-dressed citizens enjoying life. (Fresh Film Fest)
