Two beautiful and different girls, Alice and Lisette are 17 years old, when forcibly removed from their Alsatian family to cooperate in the war effort in Germany. After spending six months in a indoctrination camp, they are both sent to a munitions factory where they are tasked to perform inhuman works. An explosion erupts, they are suspected of sabotage and threatened with being sent to a boot camp. Alice and Lisette believe they saved when transferred to a maternity where they continue living the hell of war.

VIBE

This film feels like a stark, unflinching look at the grim realities faced by young women under Nazi occupation. It's a harrowing portrayal of forced labor, indoctrination, and the constant threat of violence, offering little respite from its oppressive atmosphere.
