The Pianist — Poland
A ruined villa in Zoliborz where Szpilman hides alone through the winter of 1944-45 -- and where German Captain Hosenfeld discovers him and asks him to play the piano.
After the Warsaw Uprising of 1944, most of the city was systematically destroyed by German engineers on Hitler orders. Szpilman spent months hiding in the rubble of Zoliborz until the Soviet advance in January 1945.
