Train to Zakopane

Henry Jaglom's Train to Zakopané is true love story that lays bare how compassion and intolerance can, even in the most unusual of circumstances, be one. The film is based on true events from the life of Henry Jaglom's father as he crossed Poland on a train in 1928 to escape the anti-Semitism rife in much of Europe, especially in Poland. A successful young Russian businessman meets a captivating nurse in the Polish army on a train-trip to Warsaw while faced with a life-changing dilemma when he discovers that the nurse he is drawn to-and who is enchanted by him-is fiercely anti-Semitic.
