 Auschwitz wasn't what Sven, a young German, had in mind when he signed up to do his civil service abroad. For him, Auschwitz is a small town in Poland, a strange language, a concentration camp, all the musty grayness of high-school German history classes.
 

To make matters worse, he´s got to care for an unpleasant old man, Stanislaw Krzemiסski, a former inmate who never left the camp and now spends his time either giving contemporary-witness lectures or repairing suitcases.
