This movie very effectively demonstrates the horrors that follow a war. Adelheid is a woman whose world has been turned upside down by the war. A german woman with Nazi connections, she is seen as the enemy of the state in the post WWII Czechoslovakia & is reduced to working as a cleaning maid in her own family mansion. Her mother is dead, her father is awaiting execution & her brother has gone missing from the war front. Then her mansion is put under the supervision of a young but ailing Czech army officer, who is quite enamored of her. Suddenly, Adelheid finds herself in a quandary & finds it hard to choose sides.
