His creative and happy life would come to an abrupt halt when his entire family is deported to a concentration camp during World War II. While locked up he tries to convince his son that the whole thing is just a game.

Unbelievable... It is strange to see this film in the ranking of the best on film search and read reviews full of delight. Comedy rests only on broken eggs and ridiculous "coincidences". The main character is personally unpleasant to me - a fool and a liar. It is all the more difficult to force yourself to empathize with him in the second part, when the prisoners of the concentration camp are working and trying to survive, and our "hero" constantly whines and crooks. Nicoletta Braskey surprised me. She lived the whole film with a wooden face, on which even a nerve did not shake when her family was taken to a concentration camp.
The second part of the film is disgusting. This is not a concentration camp, this is just some kind of zone not too strict. Our hero barely works, constantly clarifies, walks freely around the territory and periodically includes music for everyone in the camp - to make life more fun. I would never believe that such behavior would go unpunished in reality.
This film makes a farce of the great tragedy of mankind and eliminates all the horrors of the Holocaust. Just blasphemous.
