Persian Lessons
Film drama set during World War II. Gilles, a Jewish man, is spared execution on the pretence that he can teach a camp officer Farsi, despite not knowing a word of the language.
World War II. Gilles, a young Jewish man in a concentration camp, has his life saved when executioners realise he owns a Persian book. Brought before a camp officer who wants to learn Farsi, Gilles agrees to teach him despite not knowing a word of the language. Being a favourite of this officer may keep him alive, but that depends on how long Gilles can sustain the lie.
