Dancing before the Enemy: How a Teenage Boy Fooled the Nazis and Lived plot

Film producer Gene Gutowski (Repulsion, Cul-de-Sac, The Pianist) was fourteen years old when first the Soviets and then the Nazis invaded his hometown of Lwow in Poland. With a combination of gossip, street smarts and an unwavering will to live, he spent the war flirting with danger like a teenage Jew hiding in an ordinary place. Gutowski witnessed the unspeakable horrors of the Nazi occupation, often defying death himself and losing his entire family in the process.
