The story

It is 1943 and Colette Cohen, a beautiful young Belgian-Jewish woman, is imprisoned in Auschwitz -Birkenau where she meets a fellow prisoner, Vili Feld, a Slovak-Jew, and they fall in love. They both experience the daily torture and slave labour in the camp, and one day Colette is selected for the gas chambers but is luckily saved by Vili, who tells her what to say so that she can avoid the sentence. An SS official, Weisacker, who is captivated by her beauty, sends her to work as a seamstress at his manufactory, where she is granted a slight amount of protection in comparison to some other prisoners in the concentration camp.
