Based on the real events of Ludwig (Lale) Sokolova, Roman Hezer Morris is evidence of the human spirit and the power of love, capable of blooming even in the darkest places. And it is difficult to imagine a darker place than the concentration camp of Auschwitz/Birkenau.
In 1942, Lale, like other Slovak Jews, was sent to Auschwitz. Once there, he, due to the fact that he speaks in several languages, receives the work of the tattooist and at a terrifying speed fills the numbers with new prisoners, and for this he receives some privileges: a separate closet, a little better food and relative freedom of movement in the camp. Once in July 1942, Lala, a concluded 32407, puts number 34902 into the hands of a trembling young woman. Her name is Gita. Despite their difficult situation, despite the fact that every day it can become the last, they fall in love and contrary to everything they believe that they will be able to survive in these inhuman conditions. And although the position of Lale as a tattooist is relatively better than other prisoners, it does not protect against the cruelty of the SS men. He risks his life again and again to help his comrades in misfortune and especially Gita and her friends. Despite the constant threat of death, Lale and Gita never cease to believe in the future. And in this future they will definitely live together for a long time
