Slaughterhouse Five

Synopsis

Adaptation of the cult novel by Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim (Michael Sacks) is a young soldier in the Second World War who is captured by the Germans and sent to a POW camp. On route, he witnesses the firebombing of Dresden, an event that unhinges his fixity in time and causes him to live his life simultaneously as a POW, an optician in present day America, and as an elderly abducted resident of an alien zoo on the planet Tralfamadore.
