In Nazi-occupied Poland at the height of World War II, impoverished cafe owner Jakob (Williams) keeps hope and humor alive in the Jewish ghetto by reporting fictitious news bulletins about the Allied forces' advances against the Nazis to his fellow prisoners. Meanwhile, the Germans learn of the mythical radio and begin a search for the resistance hero who dares operate it. A remake of the 1974 German film, JAKOB, DER LUGNER.

"...A fine group of character actors admirably serve the cause of this finely calibrated story..." -- Todd McCarthy , (Variety)

"...[An] honest work....[Williams gives] an impressively interiorised performance..." -- Peter Matthews , (Sight and Sound)

"...Gracefully done..." -- Stephen Farber , (Movieline's Hollywood Life)
