George Manu - The Rector from Zarca Aiudului

Directed by Nicolae Mărgineanu

George Manu, a brilliant Romanian physicist, is sentenced in 1948 by the communist courts to hard labour for life and imprisoned in Aiud prison. Here he becomes an inexhaustible source of knowledge for the other prisoners, whom he helps to survive the grim world of concentration camps by taking refuge in the world of the knowledge.
