A nurse and her surgeon-lover are part of a resistance movement in 1940s Czechoslovakia. When they are discovered, her lover flees and she must find a place to hide.
Sinekatalog’s take
A moving wartime romance about a nurse who hides in a remote village by marrying a stranger. The rural setting and slow-growing bond give it depth. Warmly recommended for fans of humane period drama.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
