In Nazi-occupied Vienna, 1940, a young nurse faces the harrowing decision to save innocent children. This poignant story, rooted in real events, explores themes of tragedy, hope, and courage against overwhelming odds. Hannah Stern, a twenty-seven-year-old nurse, seeks refuge from the chaos of war when she takes a position at the prestigious Am Steinhof psychiatric hospital, arranged by her estranged half-brother. He insists that his son, Willi, will be safe there, and Hannah quickly bonds with the fragile child. Initially, the hospital appears to be a sanctuary, but it harbors dark secrets. Children like Willi are vanishing, not for healing, but to face grim fates elsewhere. When Willi’s life is threatened, despite her half-brother’s influence in the Nazi regime, Hannah is compelled to act. She learns that another nurse is also working to help patients escape, igniting her determination to assist. However, as she confronts her fears, she realizes she is just one person against a formidable enemy. To save even one child from the Nazis' clutches, she must be willing to risk everything.
