Jakob der Lügner (1999)
Jakob ist Besitzer eines kleinen Cafs in Polen während des Zweiten Weltkriegs. Eines Tages hört Jakob zufällig die streng verbotenen russischen Nachrichten im Radio. Die Russen berichten von ihren Erfolgen gegen die Wehrmacht. Jakob verbreitet die guten Nachrichten im Ghetto und gibt den Menschen neuen Mut und Hoffnung. Daufhin erfindet er immer weiter gute Nachrichten - bis eines Tages die Deutschen davon erfahren und der Sache auf den Grund gehen.
