Olga, a Russian countess in the Resistance; Jules, a French-Nazi collaborator; and Helmut, a naive SS officer, gather in a concentration camp. Their destinies intertwined during WWII, challenging identities and offering a new perspective on the Holocaust.

Runaway Train director Andrei Konchalovsky won the Silver Lion at the Venice Film Festival for this engrossing tale, shot in beautiful monochrome. Shifting perspectives between characters and using direct address to the camera, Paradise is an inventive entry into an otherwise overplayed genre.
