#Persian #Jewish #Lessons
1942. Gilles, a young #Belgian man, is arrested by the SS alongside other #Jews and sent to a #ConcentrationCamp in #Germany. He narrowly #AvoidsExecution by #Swearing to the guards that he is not #Jewish, but #Persian. This lie temporarily saves him, but then Gilles is assigned a seemingly #UntenableMission: to teach Persian to #Koch, the officer in charge of the camp's kitchen, who dreams of opening a restaurant in #Persia (#Iran) once the war is over. #Gilles finds himself having to invent a language he doesn't know, word by word. As the unusual relationship between the two men begins to incite jealousy and suspicion, Gilles becomes acutely aware that one false move could expose his #Swindle.
Persian Lessons (German: #Persischstunden) is a 2020 #Russian-#Belarusian drama film directed by Vadim Perelman. The film was partially inspired by the short story Erfindung einer Sprache by #GermanWriter #WolfgangKohlhaase.
It was selected as the #Belarusian entry for the #BestInternationalFeatureFilm at the 93rd Academy Awards. However, the film was disqualified by the Academy, due to the majority of individuals involved in making the film not coming from Belarus.
A Jewish man in a German concentration camp pretends he is from Iran and is then forced to teach Persian, a language he does not speak, to a #Nazi.
