What if everything you believe in suddenly turned its back on you? Set in a cattle car on a train bound for a death camp during the Holocaust, A Faithful Man chronicles the journey of Gershon, poet and religious Jew, who knows all too well what awaits him. As the train trudges closer and closer to its destination, Gershon’s prayers turn into soliloquies against a seemingly indifferent God, while the antagonistic Angel of Death licks his chops and tries to convince the poet that life is but a joke played on the living. Despite his disillusionment, Gershon must fight to keep his faith from dissolving in the face of unspeakable horror.
