Fugitive Pieces is a drama film directed by Jeremy Podeswa, who also adapted the film from the award-winning novel of the same name written by Anne Michaels. The film tells the story of Jakob Beer, who is orphaned in Poland during World War II and is saved by a Greek archeologist. The film premiered September 6, 2007 as the opening film of that year’s Toronto Film Festival.
Plot: Fragments of past and present create a haunting kaleidoscope of words and emotions. Lyrical and complex, Jeremy Podeswa’s adaptation of Anne Michael’s beloved novel builds into a breathtaking mosaic as fragments of the past and present reveal the inner depths of a writer who can’t let go of the ghosts that haunt him. Athos is directing an archaological dig in Nazi-occupied Poland when he discovers a little boy hiding. After witnessing the massacre of members of his family, seven-year-old Jakob does not know the fate of his beloved sister Bella – a mystery that will haunt him for the rest of his life. As Jakob grows into a man, he becomes progressively more consumed by his family’s tragedy and his longing for Bella, coloring his relationships. A truly moving and unforgettable story.
