THE SHEPHERD

Hungary, 1944 - The main character is an old shepherd, who lives alone on a ranch. After his daughter is killed by Nazis, he decides in his grief to save as many Jewish lives as possible. Very little is said about those people who lived a simple life and were not forced to take part in WWII, but whose empathy and selflessness did not allow staying passive in the midst of Nazi terror. They made the decision to help Jewish people stay alive, even if this meant risking everything they had, including their own lives. This film is dedicated to these unsung heroes and their selfless sacrifices for mankind.
