October 1944, Auschwitz-Birkenau. Saul Auslnder is a Hungarian member of the Sonderkommando, the group of Jewish prisoners isolated from the camp and forced to assist the Nazis in the machinery of large-scale extermination. 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 childs body from the flames, find a rabbi to recite the mourners Kaddish, and offer the boy a proper burial.
