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. Based on actual events, the film is the dramatic debut of the well-known British documentary filmmaker Tom Roberts. His previous work in Russia includes documentaries on Chechnya, Chernobyl and the GULAG.
