1938. Austria has been annexed by Nazi Germany, and Switzerland has closed its borders for Jewish refugees – a death sentence for thousands. But not all Swiss officials observe this inhuman order: the Police Commander Paul Grüninger puts not only his career, but also his life on the line by disregarding orders and allowing all Jews to enter the country. Hailed as the Swiss Oskar Schindler, Grüninger was responsible for letting 3,600 Jews enter the country – and was sentenced to a prison term for falsifying documents and abuse of office.
