Terezin tells the story of Antonio, an Italian clarinetist, and Martina, a Czechoslovak violinist, who fall in love with each other during the Second World War. Shortly after, they are captured by the Nazis and deported to the Terezin concentration camp. Their love story is intertwined with the incredible stories of the many Central European Jewish artists and intellectuals imprisoned in Terezin that despite being such an oppressive place, succeed in staging an incredible series of cultural activities that became essential tools for survival.

Another co-production film on the theme of the Terezín Ghetto loosely follows another co-production film The Last Butterfly (1990). It is a slightly different view of the events that are known thanks to the infamous propaganda documentary The Fuhrer Gives a City to the Jews (1944). This time, the main character is not a French mime, but an Italian clarinetist. Some personalities such as Hans Krása (Jan Révai), Viktor Ullmann (Petr Vaněk), Rafael Schächter (Cesare Bocci), Petr Kien (Marek Lambora), and Friedl Dicker-Brandeis (Maia Morgenstern) are portrayed with the appropriate reverence. But the actors playing negative characters - Bořek Slezáček, Karel Dobrý, and Marián Mitaš as SS guards, and Antónia Lišková as a female guard - also delivered quality performances. I wouldn't hesitate to include this project among the key materials that help with the teaching of history in school.
