Overview

Summer of 1945. A temporary orphanage is established in an abandoned palace surrounded by forests for the eight children liberated from the Gross-Rosen camp. Hanka, also a former inmate, becomes their guardian. After the atrocities of the camp, the protagonists slowly begin to regain what is left of their childhood but the horror returns quickly. Camp Alsatians roam the forests around. Released by the SS earlier on, they have gone feral and are starving. Looking for food they besiege the palace. The children are terrified and their camp survival instinct is triggered.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A harrowing siege film that layers literal horror, feral dogs attacking an orphanage, onto the psychological aftermath of genocide. The film moves between fragile moments of children reclaiming normalcy and sudden, brutal reminders that safety is an illusion.
