While working in one of the crematoriums, Saul discovers the body of a boy he takes for his son.

As the Sonderkommando plans a rebellion, Saul decides to carry out an impossible task: save the child's body from the flames, find a rabbi to recite the mourner's Kaddish and offer the boy a proper burial.

Heck of a film, but you'd better brace yourself for a disturbing film if you watch it.

Won the oscar for best foreign film.

From IMDB:
During the preparation, director László Nemes, cinematographer Mátyás Erdély and production designer László Rajk made a pledge to stick to certain rules, or a "dogma", which included:

• The film cannot look beautiful.
• The film cannot look appealing.
• We cannot make a horror film.
• Staying with Saul means not going beyond his own field of vision, hearing, or presence.
• The camera is his companion, it stays with him throughout this hell.
