Sickened by the anti-Semitic attacks he witnessed during the German occupation of Latvia, Riga stevedore Žanis Lipke (Artūrs Skrastiņš) resolved to respond. With the aid of his wife Johanna (Ilze Blauberga), he retrained as a Luftwaffe contractor, used his position to smuggle dozens of Jewish laborers from regional camps, and sheltered them underground until the Red Army’s arrival. Remarkable fact-based tale co-stars Matīss Kipļuks, Mihails Karasikovs. 90 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: Latvian; Subtitles: English; theatrical trailers. In Latvian with English subtitles.
