August, 1942. The Nazis have invaded Holland and Westerbork's refugee
camp has been converted into a concentration camp. Dr. Osias Korman, a
widow and Jewish psychiatrist, is the supervisor of the camp. The Jewish
Council, an intermediary organization between the Nazis and the civil
population, sends the nurse Esther Hillesum (Etty). Very soon Osias and
Etty strike up a friendship that turns into a profound romance.
