The story of Regina Jonas found me. The world's first woman Rabbi lived in Berlin of the 1930s, and her greatest dream was to become a Rabbi. She felt that she was born to be a Rabbi, but women were barred from becoming a Rabbi according to the Jewish laws. I was deeply impressed by her short life story, which was full of struggles. But how can I tell her story, when there is one surviving photo of her and only a few letters? That was the challenge. Rachel Weisz as the inspiring figure Regina, makes this story complete. The use of archive and experimental editing technique adds a magical layer which pulls the audience into this unique story.—Anonymous

The shocking story of the serial killer Marcel Petiot, a respected French doctor and town mayor who is also a cunning, violent psychopath. During World War II, as Hitler's forces march into France and spread fear and paranoia throughout the country, Petiot uses the confusion to prey on those most in fear for their lives - the Jews, partisans and criminals desperate to flee the Nazi regime. Posing as a resistance operative, he creates an elaborate, fictional "escape network", offering to help the oppressed flee from the occupied zone to the freedom of South America. Yet there is no network. Instead, Petiot leads his victims to a secret location and murders them. As the corpses begin to pile up, soon Petiot is being hunted down both by the Gestapo, who believe he really is a member of the Resistance, and the French police, who fear that this intelligent, charismatic doctor could be the deadliest serial killer to have ever stalked the streets of Paris.
