As the end of WWII approaches in Germany, an unlikely group of people begin to flee the Russian army approaching from the east, hoping to reach safety either with the Allied troops driving westward or perhaps in some German sanctuary. The lives of the remnants of a once-prosperous Prussian farming family, the Scottish POW who had been assigned to work for them, an escapee from a Jewish death train, and a Frenchwoman imprisoned in a work camp coil and swirl around each other as they try to survive just one more day. Beautiful and terrible
