- Summary
- This film, set in a small Slovakian town, chronicles the relationship of an elderly, hard-of-hearing Jewish woman who owns a button shop, and the amiable but weak carpenter appointed by the Nazis as her Aryan controller. The first Czechoslavakian feature to win an Academy Award, this film achieves balance between comedy and tragedy, between a specific story and the universal theme of human responsibility.
