Synopsis

The film tells the true story of Zishe Breitbart (Jouko Ahola), a Jewish blacksmith from eastern Poland who travels to Berlin in the 1930s to join a nightclub cabaret. He is billed as the world's strongest man - a claim which does not go down well with the rising Nazi party. Using his role as a modern day Samson to defend his own people, Zishe embarks on an inevitable path to tragedy.
