OK, I'm bored so I tried to read this. So the main character and his wife (Melanie)/son are separated when they arrive at the camp and he spends some time looking for the wife. But then he apparently falls in love with another woman (Selma) and completely forgets the wife and son until Selma witnesses them being executed. She tells the main character she saw his wife stripped naked and gassed and the son was killed by being smashed "like a tomato" into a wall. In the VERY NEXT SCENE, the main character and Selma are "making love" and talking about their future together. Like I can't even comprehend how anyone (even a mong like Rusty) would think this made a touching side-plot romance. Rusty's mind is truly a terrifying thing.Here's his abortion of a screenplay.
Anyway, my expectations weren't high, but it managed to be even worse than I imagined. There is even a scene where a Nazi guard leers at a woman and Russ describes it as "he looks at her wooingly." I'm not kidding.
