Description
In 1946, a group of German POWs are mistakenly sent to a Soviet female transit prison camp and must cope with the hostility of the Soviet female inmates and guards, under the orders of cruel camp commander Pavlov.
In the chaotic aftermath of WWII, a group of German POWs are accidentally sent to a female-run Soviet prison camp. When the guards are given the task of weeding out the SS officers, they play a bitter game of cat and mouse with the prisoners. Each group slowly learns that situations are not what they seem; prejudices are sometimes unjustly held; and love can be found in even the harshest places.
“The director of this film did a marvelous job in creating an appropriately bleak atmosphere. Audiences will probably be shivering sympathetically. The idea is excellent. It’s dripping with atmosphere. There’s a solid international cast headed by Vera Farmiga, John Malkovich, and some European stars.” – Movie House Commentary
“A nice boiling pot of a movie where there is plenty of drama as well as tension and then on top of that there is also an added layer of mystery surrounding some of the characters. John Malkovich is delivering the evilness of his character quite brilliantly.” – The Movie Scene
“Director Tom Roberts knows how to deliver a real enough atmosphere that you truly get the sense that you’re witnessing something real.” – Upcoming Discs
