In 1942, in Vilna, the Nazi annihilate 55,000 Jews and squeeze the 15,000 survivors in a seven blocks ghetto. The twenty-two year old sadistic commander Kittel is assigned to administrate the ghetto in the capital of Lithuania, becoming the master of life or death. When he finds the gorgeous Hayyah sneaking with one kilo of beam stolen from the German army, he sentences her to death; but when he is informed that she was a former successful singer, he decides to activate the old theater and promote shows in the ghetto. The Jew Chief of Police Gens uses the theater and a sewing factory to save as much lives as he can; in his ambiguous position, he kills Jews to save lives of others.

Au début, il ne perçoit que des sons et des images confuses, avant de rencontrer la femme inconnue, qu’il nomme Aurora. Contrevenant aux règles du protocole de recherche, il cache sa découverte au reste de l’équipe scientifique. A chaque nouvelle connexion, Lukas plonge davantage dans l’univers fantasmatique d’Aurora, avec laquelle il développe une relation exclusive et fusionnelle, en marge du monde réel.
The singer called Punk is no longer of much interest to anyone. After his brush with fame, it only took a few years of drugs and alcohol to reach rock bottom.

Two lost souls set out on a trip together – a trip which will not only change their lives, but will also bring them together to appreciate the joy it brings.
