Join us on July 20 for the screening of Persian Lessons- at the Lavazza IncluCity Festival. The film is set in 1942. Along with other Jews, Gilles, a young Belgian man, is detained by the SS and sent to a concentration camp in Germany. By declaring to the guards that he is Persian and not Jewish, he just escapes being put to death. This deception spares him for a while, but then Koch, the officer in command of the camp\'s food preparation, requests that Gilles teach him Persian so that he might one day start a restaurant in Persia. Gilles is forced to create a language from scratch, word by word. Gilles is strongly aware that one wrong move may reveal his con, as the two men\'s unique friendship starts to raise envy and suspicion.
