The scars of World War II survival bear witness to a truth eternally etched in human memory — that we find our brightest resolve in the face of darkness.
Kamilla, a Hungarian Jew, is transferred to Auschwitz-Birkenau with her father during the Holocaust, but she is determined to survive whatever is in store for her. Despite the fact that any relationship between a prisoner and a guard is forbidden, SS Officer Lukas makes every effort to see her.
When her father’s fate is jeopardized, Kamilla is forced to rely on Lukas for her survival, but will his help be enough? Will she meet the same fate as the hundreds of others before her, or will she find a way to survive?
