This is the never-before-told story of the Muslims of Nazi-occupied Albania who saved the lives of thousands of Jews during WWII. It is witnessed through the modern-day prism of two men joined together in a remarkable and unexpected quest: Norman H. Gershman, a renowned American photographer determined to record the bravery and compassion of the Albanians, and Rexhep Hoxha, an Albanian toy shop owner who sets out to return three precious books to the last surviving member of the Jewish family his Muslim father sheltered sixty years before.

When these two men meet, an extraordinary and utterly unexpected personal drama is set in motion—one that bridges generations and religions, uniting fathers and sons, Muslims and Jews. This movie shares a little-known chapter of history and gives honor to a courageous small nation that stood strong against the Germans and risked everything to do the right thing.

This film contains mature themes and strong language due to stories related to Albanian and Jewish experiences during WWII.
