Rita, 33, works on television and gives the impression of a successful girl. However, in fact, there is an emptiness in her soul. I don't like my job, I don't have any family, friends or relatives either. Not to mention the man — Rita's loneliness is brightened up only by a stuffed ferret, which she keeps in a place of honor in a rented apartment. The ruthless diagnosis that she learns about, it would seem, should finally kill all hopes of happiness. But it is he who becomes the starting point for her healing, getting rid of fears and finding true love.

Nazi POWs suspected of heinous acts are locked up in a Soviet women's prison run by vengeful female guards. To weed out the guilty, the innocent must pay. Can supposed enemies turn into great loves? Based on a true post-World War II story, this drama stars Thomas Kretschmann, John Malkovich and Vera Farmiga in a bitter game of cat and mouse and a battle between hate and humanity, mercy and revenge.
