Budapest, Hungary. October 1944. As the Hungarian Nazi movement Arrow Cross grows stronger, a young mother poses as a Christian to protect her son. Yet, this charade is challenged when her husband brings home a Jewish boy he has saved from execution. Set in the tumultuous closing years of the Second World War, first time director Joan Stein's One Day Crossing examines how identity, moral responsibility and simple humanity are shaped and persevere amidst horrible chaos.
