Jailer and prisoner… both haunted by the Holocaust.

DramaWar

A German woman on a ship returning to Europe notices a face of another woman which brings recollections from the past. She tells her husband that she had been an overseer in Auschwitz during the war, but she has actually saved a woman's life.

VIBE

A deeply unsettling journey into the past. The film's quiet intensity and lingering dread evoke the heavy weight of memory and the psychological toll of unspeakable events. It’s a somber, introspective experience that stays with you long after the credits roll.
