Last Butterfly ( 1996 )

It is wartime - 1944, and Europe is brutalized by the horror of Nazi aggression and inhumanity. In the tiny Czech village of Terezin, the Nazis plan a propaganda coup to reshape international opinion. To show a caring face of Nazism, Hitler has given the village to the Jews as a place where they can live in freedom, reassuring a Red Cross delegation - and the world - of their peaceful intensions towards them.

At the heart of their scheme is the great French mine, Antoine Moreau (Tom Coutenay). The Nazis order him to put on the greatest show of his life and spare no expense in providing the finest sets, orchestra and costumes. But Antoine becomes driven with the need to tell the world the truth, regardless of the personal risk. Although in mime he knows his lips must be sealed, now, as never before, his voice musty be heard.
