Set against the harrowing backdrop of World War II, the story unfolds through the eyes of Lale Sokolov, a young Jewish man whose fate takes a tragic turn when he is taken to Auschwitz. Despite the darkness that envelops him, Lale’s spirit remains unbroken, and he finds purpose in his role as the camp's tattooist. His task is to tattoo identification numbers on the arms of new arrivals, a brutal reminder of their dehumanization, yet it is this role that allows him a semblance of power and responsibility in an unforgiving environment.
