Il tragico amore di una ragazza ebrea e di un ufficiale nazista presentato come un simbolo della purezza umana sconfitta dal fascismo e dal pregiudizio razziale.
A gray border, dull village. Time seems to have stopped in this place. The appearance of a beautiful woman breaks the monotonous way of life and challenges the colorless group of men and makes them come out of their shells.
The film is a bitter parable about the slow maturing of the idea of freedom - both collective and personal. The characters's deaths are absurd, with no pathos.
