STEAL A PENCIL FOR ME is a compelling documentary feature film by
Academy Award® nominee Michèle Ohayon about the power of love and the
ability of humankind to rise above unimaginable suffering. 1943: Holland
is under total Nazi occupation. In Amsterdam, Jack, an unassuming
accountant, first meets Ina at a birthday party - a 20-year-old beauty
from a wealthy diamond manufacturing family who instantly steals his
heart. But Jack's pursuit of love will be complicated; he is poor and
married to Manja, a flirtatious and mercurial spouse. When the Jews are
being deported, the husband, the wife and the lover find themselves at
the same concentration camp; actually living in the same barracks. When
Jack's wife objects to the "girlfriend" in spite of their unhappy
marriage, Jack and Ina resort to writing secret love letters, which
sustain them throughout the horrible circumstances of the war.
