The movie follows a group of Nazi prisoners of war who are sent to the prison by the Soviet authorities. The prisoners, who are suspected of committing heinous war crimes, are initially treated harshly by the prison guards and subjected to brutal treatment. However, as time passes, the prisoners begin to form relationships with some of the female guards, who start to see them as human beings rather than as the enemy.
