FUGITIVE PIECES
|
Fugitive Pieces, based on the acclaimed best-seller by Anne Michaels, is about Jakob, a Jewish-Polish boy who witnesses the massacre of his family in the Second World War. He is found and saved by Athos, a Greek archaeologist, who smuggles the boy to his island home in Greece where he raises him as his son. The two ultimately move to Canada where Jakob, now an adult with a broken heart, is at last healed by a woman’s love.
