Forced into prostitution to service Nazis near the disintegrating eastern front, Bela Spigel, an Aryan-looking Jewish girl, meets a Wehrmacht captain, Kurt Ulrich. Later, together in Berlin, they are sent on a secret mission to retrieve blueprints for a futuristic German weapon. Hiding from the hordes of Soviet soldiers raping and pillaging the city, Bela and Kurt become lovers: crowding a lifetime of passion into just a few war-torn days. Based on a romance believed to be true, the action and adventure have been fictionalized.
