"Five Pounds" unveils the remarkable true story behind the creation of the beloved children's book "Curious George," set against the backdrop of World War II. It recounts the daring escape of German-Jewish refugees Hans and Margret Rey as they flee Nazi-occupied France, intertwined with the extraordinary bravery of Portuguese diplomat Aristides de Sousa Mendes, who risked his life to save thousands of others through a bold act of defiance. This compelling narrative explores themes of resilience, sacrifice, and the surprising power of seemingly small acts of conscience.
