At 28, Elie Wiesel wrote a letter revealing his ambition to win the Nobel Prize in Literature for "Night", the book he wrote after being liberated from the death camps. Decades later he did win the Nobel Prize – but for Peace. He lived his whole life within that gap. Wiesel made himself an icon and the conscience of the free world, but the tuxedo he wore on stages around the world hid his prisoner's pajamas, which he refused to part with. The film's director, whose father was on the same train to Auschwitz as Wiesel, sets out on a personal investigative journey based on the belief that important people deserve more than admiration – they deserve the truth.
