Synopsis

Female friendship forged at war

In the spring of 1945, towards the end of WWII, a train deporting hundreds of Jewish prisoners is abandoned near a small German village occupied by the Russian Red Army. Forced to spend time together in unusual circumstances, and despite a deep-seated feeling of mistrust, an unexpected friendship emerges between Russian sniper Vera, villager Winnie and Jewish-Dutch woman Simone as they overcome their differences in order to survive.
