Lost Transport

Southeast US Premiere

Inspired by true events, this gripping thriller provides a poignant example of how human beings can overcome their enmity and discover their shared humanity. In the spring of 1945, a Nazi train carrying hundreds of Jewish prisoners from Bergen-Belsen is abandoned near a small German village occupied by the Red Army. But in this context of deep mistrust, desperation, and revenge, an unexpected friendship emerges between the fearless Soviet soldier Vera, the distrustful German village girl Winnie, and the courageous Dutch Jew Simone, three women who could not be any more different from one another. Despite the traumas each has suffered in the war, they are forced by circumstance to help each other care for the sick.
