When Cilka arrives at Auschwitz-Birkenau Concentration camp, the commandant notices her beauty. She is separated from the other women and taken to the commandant's quarters. After the war, she is charged as a collaborator. What choice did Cilka have when she arrived at the camp? None. At the camp, she finds herself at the mercy of the commandant. Because of her beauty, Cilka is set apart. If she refuses the commandant, he will kill her. Sent to Siberia to serve her sentence, Cilka meets a female doctor who sees something special in Cilka and allows Cilka to work with her in treating patients. In working with the doctor, Cilka finds salvation in helping others. The heartbreak she has suffered turns into redemption.
