## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

You’re herded into the dark heart of Auschwitz as a prisoner forced to stoke the ovens you’ll soon die in. Then you’re pressed into the twelfth Sonderkommando, trading bodies for weeks. You light the fire that burns your neighbor today to delay your own cremation tomorrow. The camera lingers on your calloused fingers.

**Mood tags**: dread, gut-punch, raw
