Porajmos, The Devouring (Competition Version)

Porajmos, The Devouring, is a fictional account of Pieter Stangl, son of the commandant of the Treblinka extermination camp. A loyal German, Pieter nonetheless hates the Nazi regime and the atrocities it visits upon the peoples of Europe. In order to force his son to accept his duty as a German, Colonel Franz Stangl forces Pieter to be the liaison to a group of militant Romani and Jewish women who have been sent to Treblinka to be "broken," then killed. The colonel discovers that the leader of the women, Katerina, was once a part of the Theatre Romen in Russia and offers the group the opportunity to perform a Shakespearean play, The Taming of the Shrew, under her guidance to entertain the German troops.
