It stars Harvey Keitel, Melanie Lynskey, Jonah Hauer-King and Anna Próchniak.
The series kicks off on Thursday, May 2, a few months after Jonathan Glazer's Auschwitz film Zone of Interest, which is receiving a lot of Oscar attention.
This teaser shows an older Lali (Keitel) recounting his experiences in Auschwitz to Morris (Lynskey). We also see the younger Lali (Hauer-King) when he meets Gita (Próchniak) and falls in love with her. Shortly after his arrival in Auschwitz, Lali becomes one of the Tätowierer (tattoo artists), tasked with applying identification numbers to the arms of fellow prisoners. One day he meets Gita while tattooing her prisoner number on her arm, leading to a love that defies the horrors around them.
The teaser features an original score by multi-Academy Award-winning composer Hans Zimmer and Kara Talve, who also composed the soundtrack for the series.
