It is 1939, and Leonid Turetsky is a reclusive Jewish painter living in Nazi-occupied Poland. His obsession is to capture with oils on canvas the perfect memory of his family, who he lost to violence decades earlier.

Eliana and her younger brother, Felix, struggle to subsist in the ghetto. After being wrongly accused of theft, the ghetto police chase the children through the city market.

When the children seek shelter in an apartment building, they are saved by Leo. With no other place to go, he helps them escape to the only place possible - within one of his paintings.

A fantasy novella rooted in historical detail, The Painter from Piotrkow is a story about undying love in a time of war.
