In Berlin, 1943, compassion is a crime. Newlywed Ursula Hermann is a simple woman, wanting nothing more than an end to the war and the return of her husband from the Russian front. Ursula guards a prison for undesirables and political prisoners. Then, the unthinkable happens. A Royal Air Force pilot escapes, and Ursula looks the other way. If her act of mercy is discovered, her life is forfeit. |
