À Auschwitz pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, Saul est un prisonnier juif qui est chargé d'amener ses semblables à la chambre à gaz et ensuite de la nettoyer des cadavres. Un jeune garçon est retrouvé miraculeusement en vie, ce qui provoque la surprise des troupes allemandes qui l'assassinent en attendant de faire une autopsie. Reconnaissant son fils, Saul convainc le médecin de cacher le corps. Afin de l'enterrer correctement, il part à la recherche d'un rabbin. Une quête incompréhensible pour les autres détenus qui comptent sur lui pour mener à terme leur plan d'évasion.
