In the autumn of 1944, with Budapest in the cruel grip of the Arrow
Cross, a Jewish opera star sings each night from the high tower of his
villa, where he has barricaded himself. His songs inspire hope in a
group of Jews hiding in the house - though he never leaves the tower,
and they never see his face. A powerful drama based on a true story.
