This is the story of a friendship between two very short women. Perla, an actress, is the last living member of a Jewish family of dwarfs that survived Dr. Mengele's experiments in Auschwitz. Hannelore, a Christian born in postwar Germany, has been researching the fate of dwarfs under the Nazis. Hannelore sets out on a quest, searching for a lost Nazi film of Perla's family, standing naked on stage, before a group of high-ranking SS officers. As her research proceeds, she discovers stark comparisons between the Nazis' attemps to use genetic engineering to create a master race and the many fetuses now aborted and babies now killed as soon as it is realized that they "don't fit in." The film raises issues of birth and death, anger and forgiveness, and the basic right of the different to life.
