Lenz (Albert Paulus) is a masseur at a once-popular mountain resort that has fallen on hard times in this slow-moving drama. With his debts mounting far beyond his income, he resorts to stealing furniture and uses what he is not able to sell. Lenz also has an affair with a beautiful young dancer (Mercedes Echerer) when his wife Lisbeth (Daniela Obermeir) becomes affected by his larcenous behavior. ~ Dan Pavlides, All Movie Guide

In this well-photographed and sometimes confusing wartime drama, an Austrian village experiences the tragedy of war on several different levels. Within one family, the younger son is jealous of the praise his father gives to a Polish POW who is working for them under very difficult conditions. Within the village as a whole, the French, Polish, and Russian POWs are kept under guard by Nazi soldiers, creating a tense situation all around. But more importantly, the village has conspired to hide an Austrian deserter in a cave up in the mountains. This act of rebellion on the part of the deserter and the village hangs in a precarious balance that could be upset by a single traitorous comment to the Gestapo. ~ Eleanor Mannikka, All Movie Guide
