A Viennese Jewish woman has managed to jump from the train taking her to a death camp. She is found by a Catholic peasant who hides her on his farm and gradually becomes obsessed with her. With both characters under constant threat of betrayal and death, a mesh of interdependency develops between them.
The focus of the story is on the emotional conflicts and balances that determine survival. The ambiguities in the roles of rescuer and victim made the film a subject of intense discussion in West Germany that led to its nomination for the Best Foreign Language Oscar in 1986.
IMDB - Nominated for 1 Oscar
A lonely German farmer (Armin Mueller-Stahl) hides a lovely, upper-class, Jewish lady from the Nazis. He falls in love with her and avoids helping her to escape; he would rather keep her with him. He hides the signal, that the lady's husband had left to show that he is still alive; the farmer would prefer that the husband be dead. This fascinating and subtle character study, by director Agnieszka Holland, depicts a man, torn between his conscience and his love, in a situation that he is unable to cope with adequately. Mueller-Stahl's performance is superb and very touching.
