"I'll look after us. I'll protect you."



"In Prague, at the outbreak of WWII, radio reporter Emil is married to Hana, a famous film star who is initially oblivious to the Nazi threat. Hana's Jewish heritage precipitates her fall from the height of her career to the bottom of the social ladder. In order to protect her, Emil compromises himself, collaborating with the new Nazi-controlled state radio station. Conditions worsen as restrictions on Jews are systematically increased, and the assassination of the Third Reich Deputy Protector brings their malingering marriage to a crisis, and Hana's fate closer to that of the other Jews around her."
