Synopsis

As World War II's shadow looms over Central Europe, many Jews escaping Hitler's oppression seek refuge far from home, with some arriving in Finland, hoping for a new beginning. However, Finland's alliance with Nazi Germany soon threatens this sanctuary. In Helsinki, Abraham Stiller, a prominent Jewish leader and philanthropist, emerges as a beacon of hope. He reassures the frightened refugees, "This is Finland, not Germany." Yet, the situation escalates when Jewish refugees are forcibly taken to labor camps near German forces in Northern Finland. Faced with this crisis, Stiller seeks help from Arno Anthoni, the new Chief of State Police, only to receive a dire warning that jeopardizes the entire Finnish Jewish community. Caught in a perilous mix of politics and loyalty, Stiller must navigate his personal emotions and strategic thinking. "Never Alone" tells a tale of resilience and defiance, highlighting an unwavering commitment to protect one's community against overwhelming odds.
