In 1940s Berlin, the Nuremberg Laws criminalize the budding romance between a wealthy countess (Jacqueline Bisset) studying veterinary medicine and a Jewish writer (Jurgen Prochnow) she has met at the home of a former professor. She becomes active in the underground effort to smuggle Jews out of Nazi Germany and he goes into hiding from the Nazis. Irene Worth has an outstanding cameo as Prochnow’s mother in this true life story.
