Diamonds of the Night

A feature film. Two young men fleeing from a train which her destiny is a concentration camp. The film employs little dialogue, and the boys' escape through forests and swamps, and across rocky terrain. When the boys encounter a farmer's wife, the younger boy follows her into her kitchen to ask for food, and as he struggles with thoughts of murder and rape. Eventually, the boys are caught by a shooting party of elderly German-speaking men, who detain the boys in a beer hall while they drink, eat, sing, and dance, before turning the boys over to the town's mayor.
