The true story of pianist Władysław Szpilman's experiences in Warsaw during the Nazi occupation.

This Life 2: Those Left Behind
A poignant drama about a Danish family's unbearable loss and total disintegration, but above all about the faith and hope that miraculously gives them the superhuman strength not to give up.
