Malkovich, eponymous star of Being John Malkovich, as well as Burn After Reading, Con Air and Of Mice And Men, rules the roost over a female run Soviet prison camp at the end of the Second World War.
But the dynamic shifts abruptly when group of German prisoners of war are inadvertently sent to the camp. And as the women officers attempt to weed out SS officers aiming to avoid execution, bonds form, relationships develop and the lines between captor and prisoner begin to blur
And in this grim world -a cold miserable, desolate prison camp - can solace and redemption can be found?
This powerful drama covers one of the least talked about events during the fallout from the Second World War and is an uncompromising look at the nature of war and conflict.
