Synopsis: Elsa is an outgoing woman who tackles her daily tasks cheerfully, despite the fact that her husband has been taken away and her once friendly neighbors now behave with distrust. Even when she is absurdly arrested for deportation, her unquestioning co-operation and inability to consider a monstrously horrific reality demonstrate how millions of people were manipulated to their doom. Equally obedient, the disciplined German officers have orders to follow, which they efficiently execute with cold indifference. In this fateful climate, Elsa's naïve belief in human goodness is an ironic contrast to the unbelievably real human cruelty of the Holocaust.
