Au lendemain de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, un ancien soldat tchèque prend la direction d'un manoir autrefois propriété d'une famille allemande. Il tombe amoureux de la fille, qui est maintenant servante, et est obligé d'affronter le stress entre son amour et sa conscience lorsqu'il découvre qu'elle abrite son frère, soldat allemand.

Family visit turns wild.

This film, chronicling the last days of Czech resistance fighter Maruska Kuderikova (played by Magda Vasaryova), is based on her diaries. Though she was tortured and eventually executed by the Nazis, her diaries indicate that she was optimistic for the humanity of her captors and did not by any means hate them. Told with simple dignity, this film makes clear why Maruska became a national hero.
