Everything that makes "A Small Light" lively, humorous, harrowing, and relatable hangs off the half-of-a-breath between Otto Frank asking what he admits if too much of his secretary Miep Gies (Bel Powley) and her saying, "Whatever you need."
"What I am asking you to do is dangerous," insists Otto, played by Liev Schreiber, before revealing the nature of his request – he's taking his family into hiding and needs her to provide food and medicine so they can survive. "If you get caught, you could be arrested or even worse."
