Description
This really black comedy, set during WW II when the Nazis invaded Czechoslovakia, tells the tale of the proud owner of a Czech crematorium. He takes equal pride in his work and in his half-Jewish wife and kids. The Nazis come and the man is spared because he has a little German in him. He is assigned to helm the death camp crematorium.
