Holocaust drama Persian Lessons gets a trailer and images

January 9, 2021 by Gary Collinson

Signature Entertainment is set to bring director Vadim Perelman’s (House of Sand and Fog) acclaimed Holocaust survival story Persian Lessons to the UK this month; check out the official poster, trailer and images for the film here…

Nazi-occupied France, 1942. Gilles (Nahuel Pérez Biscayart, 120 BPM (Beats per Minute), The Intruder) is arrested by SS soldiers alongside fellow Jews and sent to a camp in Germany. He narrowly avoids sudden execution by swearing to the guards that he is not Jewish, but Persian.

This lie temporarily saves him, but Gilles gets assigned a life-or-death mission: to teach Farsi to Head of Camp Koch (Lars Eidinger, Personal Shopper, High Life), who dreams of opening a restaurant in Iran once the war is over.

Through an ingenious trick, Gilles manages to survive by inventing words of “Farsi” every day and teaching them to Koch. The particular relationship between the two men sparks the jealousy of other prisoners and SS guards towards Gilles. And while the suspicions of Koch grow every day, Gilles understands that he will not be able to keep his secret forever…

Persian Lessons is set for release on digital platforms on January 22nd and on DVD from February 8th.
