An eyewitness true life experience set in Post World War II Germany is being directed by multiple-award winning Director Markus Imboden. The story examines the fragile fabric of personal identity. For Jacob, identity was obliterated by a horrendous choice he was forced to make in a Nazi extermination camp. For Catholic Priest Father Erlich, identity was stolen. For Helga, it was surrendered. For Von Krale and his wife Nora it was a malignant. For all, in Spring 1945, in a remote German village, a war-scouraged church became a battleground in which the identities of the community's entire population would be exposed, tested, and transformed by a transcendental creative experience.
