Summary
Based on the true story of Elisabeth Eidenbenz and her female co-workers who saved the lives of almost 600 infants in World War II. In the early 1940's, refugees from all over Europe sought shelter in South Western France, escaping persecution from the Nazis and from Franco's regime in Spain. Among them, were countless women, some of them pregnant, and their young children. Young Red Cross nurse Elisabeth Eidenbenz transformed an old villa into a birth clinic and saved the lives of mothers and children from certain death. But soon authorities in Nazi-occupied France demand that she hand over all Jewish refugees and their children. Official Selection at the **Toronto Jewish Film Festival** and the **Atlanta Jewish Film Festival**
