Plot

The story begins in 1943, at the time where Europe was going through one of the worst moments of WWII. The Germans are everywhere and the Gestapo is the instrument to eliminate the people that are working in the resistance. When the young medical student and nurse, Eliška, is found to be in danger, she is sent to the country with one of the patients she has been taking care of at the hospital. Thus begins the saga of a woman who must hide, or face jail, or probably death.
