Bruck, a Hungarian concentration camp-survivor, settled in Italy after the Second World War and wrote about her experiences in autobiographical and fictional formats. The film stars Geraldine Chaplin and Nino Castelnuovo.

Plot



In rural Yugoslavia, Lenka (Chaplin) lives with her blind brother, Miscia (Scrobogna). They were orphaned of their Greek Orthodox mother and their Jewish father, Rasco (Gavri) is believed to have been killed in the war. As the Second World War continues to rage and fascism activity blights Europe, Lenka and her brother become increasingly vulnerable targets to anti-semitic sentiment. She finds support in Ivan (Castelnuovo), a partisan in love with her. Meanwhile, Rasco returns alive, despite reports of his death. Rasco ultimately sacrifices himself to save the life of Ivan, who lies injured in the family's attic. The SS return to collect Lenka and Miscia, who do not reveal the whereabouts of Ivan.
