About film
The film takes place during the German occupation of Czechoslovakia. It tells the story of a famous radio presenter Emil and his wife Hana, a popular actress who was half Jewish. In order to protect Hana, Emil decided to collaborate with the Nazis, and up to a certain moment, his wife was under his protection. But as Nazi treatment of the Jewish people became worse, the tensions within the family arose as well. Hana’s parents were bound to be sent to a concentration camp, and it seemed that even Emil, who had become the official voice of the Nazi regime, could not save his beloved wife and her relatives.
