Original subtitles

Hello, hello? Will

you hear us? This is

our final transmission.

Today, German forces entered Warsaw.

Your thoughts are with the Polish soldiers on the battlefields.

There are all those who are fighting, wherever they are.

The apolloid has not yet surrendered. That's all I could

find.

The announcement has just been made.

The Germans and the Soviets signed a pact in which they

divided our territory between them.

The Apollo doesn't exist anymore. Tell everyone.

I'll be back with what I need.

Mom.

Excuse me, sir,

but what were you doing in this house?

Is this where I live?

But who are you?

I'm sorry, I think they've changed the names of all the streets. I

must have gone to the wrong address.

Face in Ovis's ear, face in Omis's love.

Neredigeas because love for this zetrulian fidelity.

In a single second, we realize, to

facilitate the kingdom of the Emirate.

Fibiris, executas, deus per omnesse of the Security.

Amen.

Corpus Christi.

Corpus Christi.

Listen carefully, Poles,

from today onwards, you will all

participate in the German war effort. You will

not be harmed if you work hard.

I need some workers for myself too.

Of course, take whichever ones you want.

YOU.

YOU.

YOU.

YOU. YOU.

YOU. YOU.

YOU. YOU.

And you.

In the truck, right there. Did

you hear what the Major said? In the truck.

Come on.

Faster. Faster.

Wait.

Come on, faster. Sit down there.

Wait.

The Major arrives.

Put your work into winning. Well

, what's going on here? If just

one worker faints, the efficiency of the entire factory is

threatened. This is unacceptable.

Yes, Major Ruegmer.

Major Ruegmer, please.

Ask anyone, they'll tell you that I've been working here for

a year and that I'm a very good worker.

It is my responsibility to maintain a certain production pace.

Quotas to meet, yields to deliver, does that ring a bell ?

If she can't keep up the pace, get rid of her, of course.

Major Ruegmer, please. I swear it on my mother's head.

She instilled in me the importance of hard work.

I will redouble my efforts.

What is your name?

Your name? Irina Goud.

Irina Goud.

A name like Goud is originally a name.

Moreover, your features are typically Germanic.

I never knew my family on my father's side.

So, I was given the name Irina Goutowna.

I admire your honesty.

But I have nothing to hide and I am a good worker.

You will not return to the factory, it's too late for you here.

No, Major Ruckmer, please, I know I can do better.

This task is too difficult for you.

No, let me show you.

Are you comfortable in the kitchen and serving at the table?

Yes, although we had servants at home, my mother taught me

how to best run a household.

She's the one who taught you how to cook, sew, do laundry and iron?

Major Ruckmer. Yes, Major Ruckmer.

Yes.

So that's good, okay?

I am entrusted with the opportunity to do so.

You're doing very well, Irina.

You are very efficient.

Thank you, Mr. Schulz.

I'm going to do the dishes now. There is

no emergency.

Eat something first.

Come on, sit down. Don't rush.

Take the time to walk. No

one is chasing you.

You remind me of my daughter.

She is the same age as you.

Now, Irina, in addition to your duties in the kitchen

and serving tables, you will be taking charge of

supervising the Jews who work in the laundry.

And you will be responsible for making the uniforms for officers as well as those for the

secretaries attached to their service.

I suspect that the Jews lied about their expertise and

skills in garment making.

We expect a significant improvement in their performance.

If you want to survive in this new position, this will be the condition to fulfill.

Is that clear, Irina?

Yes, Mr. Schulz.

Well, we're all going through a difficult time.

Before the war, I was an innkeeper. Now, I work for the Major.

He used to be a factory manager.

He can be stern. Do

you know the secret to surviving this kind of twist of fate?

We lower our eyes.

We do not look to the left, nor to the right, nor straight ahead.

We don't look up.

We only look at our feet and move forward like that, step by step.

In other words, they only care about us,

they only take care of us.

We don't try to find out more than necessary, and for the rest,

we do like the three little monkeys: hear nothing, see nothing,

and finally, say nothing.

Hello, my name is Irina Gouth and as of today, I am

taking over the reins.

I regret to inform you that the officers and their secretaries

are dissatisfied with the work being done in this sewing workshop.

In fact, my superiors, Mr. Schulz and Major Ruegmer

himself, have suggested that you may have lied

about your tailoring skills.

No, miss.

On the contrary, before the war, we were all experienced dressmakers.

Yes, all of us.

It's possible we worked a little too quickly.

I'm not here to denounce anyone.

But if we want to survive another task, it is imperative that we

deliver impeccable work.

I made the Major believe that I was more skilled at sewing than I actually am.

And I thought that you might have done the same.

I was studying to be a nurse.

I am a nurse.

Finally, I was.

My name is Clara.

Clara Bauer. I am Thomas Bauer, her husband.

My wife was, and still is, an excellent seamstress.

Seamstress. Rock.

One of the best. Go ahead, tell the young lady.

I am not just any young lady.

I lost my home, I lost my family.

I am a Polish woman forced into hard labor, just like you.

Without meaning to offend you, Miss Goutte.

You cannot compare yourselves to us.

They have a different fate in store for us.

They have raided the cake. There are

a lot of rumors circulating about this.

Yes, Lazard, rumors.

But we all have a job.

We are essential workers, since we all have training in sewing.

This young girl is right. We

need to work well if we want to continue to be indispensable to them.

And as I just said, I am a nurse.

And Thomas, my husband, he's an accountant.

My name is Moses and this is my wife Zochia.

We just got married.

I have finished my final year in medical school.

My name is Lazard. Lazard, then.

And this is my wife, Ida.

We're not tailors either. I'm afraid so.

Yes.

Alex Rosen.

I'm even less skilled at it than I am at sewing.

Abraham Krieger. I am a music teacher.

Joseph Weis.

If you need a lawyer, I could be of assistance.

Otherwise, Marianne Wilner.

I am a chemist.

My name is Fanca Zylberman.

I love to draw.

She is very talented.

How am I supposed to get good workers?

I just got a new factory full of inexperienced people

and I have to achieve my goals.

Ruemer, consider that I am confiding in you out of friendship,

but do not place your bets on the Jews.

Replace them with other workers, Poles like the waitress,

for example, people like us.

But skilled workers are not easy to find.

In a few months, I'm sorry to tell you. There won't be

a single Jew left in the area.

You need to get used to the idea, Ruegmer. Replace them.

The potatoes are excellent. Is

there paprika? I followed my mother's recipe.

Your mother must be an excellent cook.

Miss, why aren't you buying anything from me anymore?

Major Woodmer complained about the freshness of your vegetables?

Mine come straight from the farm, miss.

Look.

How many will you give me?

For the Major, for the officers' mass,

the secretaries, let's say 15, and 11 others for the laundry.

The laundry. Do

you buy fresh produce?

Yes.

You should pay a little more attention to what you say, miss.

That's not very prudent. Do you understand? Don't

loiter in the streets.

We don't want to see you here anymore.

You, go away.

Quickly, get out of this street.

It's there.

It's there.

Write down the locations. We are gathering you together. Don't let us

see you on this street again.

Clear out.

It's faster than that.

Clear out.

Move forward.

Come on, faster, shake it a little.

Come on, move forward. What ?

Irina, bring two.

I've seen things, Mr. Chouille.

Horrible, abominable things.

Above all, don't tell me anything.

I don't want to know anything.

And if you know what is good for you, you will forget everything you have seen.

Now, Irina, you're going to pull yourself together and go back to the room. All that

remains is to serve dessert. I can't

, what I saw was terrible. I don't want to. I would like to

know.

Now you will serve the dessert, Irina. Do

you understand me?

You are going to serve dessert.

And above all, try not to forget what I told you about your survival. Don't

forget that sometimes, the key to survival

is simply serving dessert.

I would

say that we have managed things effectively.

Honestly, it couldn't have gone any better.

Crate and crown, my favorite cake.

How did you guess?

Next step, we clean up Ch'tarujkohl, Nastras.

Absolutely delicious.

Honestly, Irina, you're marriage material.

Go ahead, go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead. Go ahead.

Go ahead.

Go ahead. It doesn't bother me

. No one can be heard

shouting.

Major Rockita is empty.

What ?

Give it to me.

You see, in every corner, search everywhere, do you hear me?

I want every unoccupied building to be hermetically sealed.

Make sure that not even a mouse can find the slightest hiding place

.

Something else. No, thank you.

It's

not just the result that counts, Rugna.

There is also the method, the genius behind it all.

We are simply applying modern science to a political and social scourge.

I run factories, my friend.

I am not a philosopher.

This isn't philosophy, it's simply pure German genius.

At first, nothing important.

They are made to wear a star.

Who will fight for a little star?

Then, they are banned from public parks.

Okay, it's annoying, but nobody will think of rebelling

just because they can no longer walk their dog.

Next, dogs are banned.

And each time, the circle tightens a little more.

Each time, they are led to believe that a piece of paper can save them.

A piece of paper that only you can give them.

Each time, they get a little more used to the length of the queues

and to doing exactly what they are told.

Take them as workers for all practical purposes, get the most out of them,

make them less recalcitrant, more malleable, more cooperative.

And then, zealously, I will abort them until there is nothing left.

So that these remains are only good for being thrown away.

Bread.

Hot off the press.

I want fit workers to achieve my goals,

not exhausted workers, because my factory needs to run at full capacity. Are

you struggling to meet the targets?

Rest assured that this is nothing compared to the pressure one is under in the SS.

I have until July 22nd to ensure that there is not a single Jew left in this entire area

.

After that date, if there is a single Jew left alive in Tarnopole,

I can kiss my promotion goodbye.

Kill everyone? All those from the labor camp?

The entire ghetto? Do

you perhaps think there's some meaning behind all this? They

are madmen, murderers. Thomas is right.

Maybe they'll just attack one street two, but...

Rockita told the Major, I heard him perfectly.

And that's not all.

This morning he told me he was expecting 11 replacement workers for July 22nd.

I beg you, you must believe me.

Why would they replace us?

We are essential workers.

What is essential for them is to get rid of the Jews.

And once that's done, they'll kill the Poles.

All those who, in their eyes, do not belong to the Aryan race,

you must find a place to hide.

Irina, if we had a place to hide, we would already be there.

I was expecting you, Irina.

Where had you been?

I was at the laundry to plan the work schedules.

You won't have to worry about that anymore from now on.

We will no longer need your services here.

But why? I thought I was doing a good job.

That's enough.

I'm not asking for your opinion, it's decided.

I will soon be leaving this makeshift barracks for a single officer

and I hope to be able to host more receptions.

I need a more...

sumptuous place.

I have obtained a requisition for a villa on the other side of town and I would like to

hire you as a housekeeper.

Soldiers and painters will be assigned to you for the bulk

of the renovation and for cleaning.

You will be in charge of everything.

As soon as the current occupants have left on July 23rd,

you will begin the work.

This will give you two weeks to restore this building.

Yes.

Of course, Major Ruckmer.

I found it. There's a place for you to hide.

And where is this place?

Where no one would think to look for you.

In the home of one of the highest-ranking German officers stationed in Tarnopole.

What ? But that's madness.

You don't want to hand us over directly to the Gestapo, whole and complete? That's all I have

to offer you.

But we have a small problem.

There is currently a Polish family renting the house from the authorities.

The Major asked them to vacate the premises on the 23rd.

And the Germans are planning to eliminate us

from Tarnupol on July 22nd? That's it.

So, we need to find a hiding place for that time.

Yes.

If you have a better idea, let me know. On the

evening of the 21st, the Major planned to go to the theatre.

We'll take advantage of this to let you in.

But how are we going to get out?

I haven't thought about it yet.

Perhaps we should have thought about that beforehand, shouldn't we?

If we thought about all the details beforehand, we would never start.

It wouldn't even have occurred to us to consider such a thing.

Irina?

What are you doing here?

Mr. Schulz?

I had come to prepare the Major's bed and I thought he must have

taken a shower before going out.

I'd like to wash it before she gets back.

It will be clean by tomorrow morning.

Where are the towels?

The napkins, Mr. Schulz?

Also, provide clean towels for impeccable room service.

Clean towels.

Do you understand?

Yes, I'll go get some right away.

Hold. See you tomorrow evening.

Where are the laundry employees?

According to my records, you have 11 Jews employed at the Laundry.

Second Lieutenant, you have been asked a question.

Where are the Jews from the Laundry?

I don't know.

They are no longer there. I'm sure of it, Lieutenant.

I locked it myself.

I suppose they were rounded up at dawn at the same time as the office workers.

That can only be it, they were taken.

If the sub-lieutenant wishes to search the laundry, I have the key.

It goes without saying that if you confirm that they were taken away with the others

in this morning's raid, you will save us a lot of trouble,

but it is up to you to judge.

On the other hand, if you don't find them,

you may be held responsible.

Yes, indeed, that must be it.

We had to round them all up this morning.

THANKS.

Above all, I don't want to know anything.

Good luck in your new role, Irina.

Bye.

Are you going out again tonight, Major?

No.

I don't see where I could go tonight.

It is possible to escape the turmoil wherever you go.

I'm going to bed, you are. I'm afraid I overdid it a bit last night.

You and me, I'm good, but we were going to have a campaign.

You, you,

tell me.

How are you. No noise, no light.

Hello sir, I'm calling to ask you for a short break, please.

And the windows? Don't forget

the angles.

I'm going to get some

cold drinks and something to eat.

Okay, let's go.

So, after the meal, shall we clear out the attic?

No, the cellar first.

I'm going to

ask you to install an

electric pump with a switch in my bedroom, one in the kitchen

and one downstairs.

When I go down here in the dark, I mustn't

break an ankle. Of course.

Good night, miss.

Tomorrow, we're cleaning the attic.

Yes, perfect.

Good.

At least it doesn't look like a pigsty anymore.

Thank you, Major Huguer. In any case,

we're going to make your life much easier from now on.

I'm going to assign someone to do the

heaviest tasks, a soldier.

He will obey your orders and he will be able to sleep in the cellar.

But you can't. How so ?

I can't do what? What's wrong?

Sir, I know that I have nothing to fear from you.

You are a mature and cultured man, but...

I had a bad experience with soldiers. They

were Soviet soldiers.

So sleeping under the same roof as a soldier, I'm going to be

constantly terrified. Don't

be silly, that's too much work for one person alone.

I'm going to invite a lot of people to my table on the first night.

You won't be able to do everything at these receptions. I

'm capable of it, you'll see.

I know how to ensure everything runs smoothly in the kitchen, and a soldier would only be a hindrance

.

I'm going to give you one chance and one chance only,

but if you don't keep up at this dinner, the next day

I'm assigning my soldier here.

I think it's good.

That's great. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

THANKS.

We were very good. Thank you, Irina.

My guests are bursting with impatience, miss.

We should be sitting down to eat soon, shouldn't we? Yes, Major.

GOOD.

Wurmer.

Salads.

Salads? One second, it happens.

Yeah, that's it, that's good.

Come on, quickly, quickly, quickly.

I'll put this next to it, that's fine. Okay, that's it.

Enjoy your food.

Enjoy!

Hey, that's a strudel. All that's left to do is

bake it in the oven for 20 minutes.

This is my grandfather's recipe.

Dessert, Irina, with strudel.

Coffee, Major Burgmer?

Yes, coffee. THANKS.

It's good.

Thank you again for this lovely evening.

And the strudel was divine. THANKS.

I'm delighted that you enjoyed it so much.

Good night. Good night.

Amazing. I'm almost done, Major Burgma.

I can't believe it.

You did the work of six people.

THANKS.

Are you...

Are you, Count Cinderella? Do

you have an army of mice that secretly transform into handymen

and footmen?

No, sir.

Simply, I am aware that to keep this

job, I must prove my effectiveness in the kitchen.

Well, the service this evening was very satisfactory, Irina.

Effective and satisfactory.

So, let's say that for now, we can do without a soldier.

Good night.

Good night. Don't you want some

? She knows what she's doing.

Yes. Nothing to do.

We did it.

What a relief.

Drink some water.

Irina?

Irina, open this door. There's

no need to get yourself out of shape every time.

THANKS. That's all I could find.

Why didn't you mention our guests in the cellar?

And don't pretend you were n't aware.

Aware of what?

I want him exterminated.

Major, I have no idea...

I don't want a single one left in this cellar.

But I assure you that... They are vermin.

Vermin?

Repulsive, a filthy, disgusting rat, infested with disease.

And you, don't tell me you didn't hear any noise.

Your room is located just above the cellar.

And I can tell you that I hear them.

You should have settled the score with them during the renovations.

You're right, I've almost mentioned it several times.

The mere thought of their presence, but intolerable. The

entire house needs to be filled with smoke, from top to bottom. Okay,

I understand.

Yes, I know, it's the right thing to do.

But I need a little time, please, Major.

Time for what?

We have vegetables that I had a lot of trouble finding at the market.

You know how much you love fresh vegetables.

They're not hard to find these days.

Let me put them somewhere safe.

Kill these rats, kill them.

Is that clear?

You will kill all this vermin.

Yes, Major O'Pard.

Well, this time, I don't know.

Maybe... Maybe what, Abraham?

Maybe it's not as bad as it seems. At least you're optimistic.

And when will the exterminators come?

No, actually, what I mean is that it's a Jewish house.

It was built by Jews. So what ?

So, there must be a hiding place somewhere. Yes, indeed.

Yes.

No Jew would build such a vast villa without including a room

large enough to hide his entire family. All you have to do is

find it.

Yeah.

I think I've found it. Abram, do you see where this is leading?

Not yet.

Abram, is everything alright?

What if the tunnel led to the street, and the Germans had spotted it?

Rats.

What ?

Rats.

Is that all you could find?

No.

We're somewhere under the gardens.

Yes, not far from the Belvedere.

That's perfect.

And not just for the duration of the fumigation.

We would be safe here. Yes.

It's a really good hiding place.

Irene, if you can get us some electrical wire, I could

make an alarm bell.

They had stored mattresses in the cellar.

We could bring them here.

Yes, we need soap and water.

And perhaps a few newspapers. Yes.

To find out a little about what's going on inside.

Yes.

Books too? Yes, books.

There's a real lack of reading.

We could make a chessboard and get a deck of cards.

Failures? Maps?

Wait, this isn't a luxury hotel.

A hotel?

We live in a coal mine completely cut off from the world

and literally terrified of what might have happened to our families.

So when Thomas wonders if we can have a chessboard or even something to read,

all of a sudden, for you, we think we're in a hotel?

We had property.

Thomas and I had a house as magnificent as

this villa, and porcelain, beautiful draperies, we entertained.

I could bring you the newspapers once the Major has read them and...

I should be able to find some maps.

I apologize, I didn't mean to...

No, you don't have to apologize, really not.

Without you, we would all be dead. He's right.

Yes.

Yeah, thanks. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

No, don't get confused, that's not what I said. I didn't

notice. You've always been lucky.

It's a shame. How are you ? Is there

a question?

Yes.

Listen, I like it because you come every time. That would be

good.

The master told me that I am better than you.

Each will have their day. That's fantastic.

Irina, welcome to our humble abode.

And what is this? A cupboard?

No, we called it the honeymoon suite.

There are three married couples here, so there you go.

We only have water, but it's now or never to celebrate.

Go on, you. THANKS.

Cheers. Cheers.

Health. My friends.

Haim. Haim.

Haim. Ah, life.

Ah, life, yes. To life.

Are you the market lady, the vegetable seller?

Yes, farm products.

We have enough vegetables here, and the exterminators are going to

come and fumigate the house. I wouldn't know where to store them.

I understand. I've been keeping an

eye on your villa for a while now.

You are hiding Jews here.

That's a despicable lie.

I work for a respectable German officer.

My husband is Jewish.

For now, I'm the one hiding it, but they'll find it eventually.

It's only a matter of time.

Miss, please take it.

Henry Weinbaum?

My God, he worked for—he worked

for Rockita himself, as a butler.

He gave up the printing trade; he could no longer practice it. That's why

Rockita is searching for him everywhere like a madman.

In fact, he felt personally offended when a Jew attached

to his service was able to escape. Okay

, great.

We are going to welcome into our midst the most wanted Jew in Poland.

For me, that's out of the question.

I agree with him.

I know it's dramatic, but we can't hide

all the Jews in that cellar.

Henry Weinbaum, that's already something we're hiding here.

So if he catches it, don't you think they'll

question him about the other hiding places he knows about?

And don't you think Rockita will make it a point of honor to

forcibly extract everything he knows from him?

Henri Van Borme. Did

Abraham find the piano?

Yes. Does he play well? What

was that? Someone is arriving.

Go back and hide!

What is this ?

I don't know.

Quickly !

Come on, quickly, quickly. Open this. It's good, it's good.

I wear it or I push it in, okay?

Why don't you open immediately when an SS officer orders you to?

You are deaf.

I'm sorry, I was washing my hair, I didn't hear the doorbell ring.

Move aside.

How many people live in that city?

Only two. I am the housekeeper.

That's a lot of dishes for two people, it seems to me. Don't

you believe it, miss?

The Major held a small reception last night.

He was in the company of his colleague Rockita.

The major? Major Édouard Drougemer.

This is his home.

If you want to search her, it's best to ask her permission. No

one should leave this house.

Understood, nobody.

Who is the idiot giving the orders here?

Is that you?

You stand at attention when a superior officer

speaks to you, you impertinent young man.

So, you dare accuse me of hiding Jews in my villa?

Answer! We were

clearly given very poor information.

Miss Goud, who is my secretary and housekeeper, will

guide you in your research.

Go over everything thoroughly.

If you find a Jew, kill me with a bullet to the head.

If you find nothing, then we'll see who gets executed.

Major, a search will not be necessary.

It is more than necessary.

My honor is at stake. Out of my sight.

Go and get your Jews.

So, shall we start with the Gruier cheese?

Nelly Marlene.

When there is life later, there is life later.

Who will stay?

The Earth of Sté.

With him.

Nelly Marlene.

With him.

Nelly Marlene.

Ida is pregnant.

But it's wonderful.

I told you she would react like that.

Here is the list of things I will need.

You'll find them at the pharmacy.

There's no rush, we have time before the birth.

Irina is exactly what I would need to perform an abortion.

Clara will assist me.

Irina, we can't afford to have a baby with us here.

This would endanger the lives of each and every one of us. Yours

too. It won't be

long before the Major or someone

else hears the crying.

Listen, we've discussed this at length.

That's the only thing to do.

I'm sorry, I...

It's absurd.

And my religion doesn't... It's not a question of religion,

it's a question of life or death.

I'm sorry, I can't do that. You won't do

anything, I'll take care of it . Just provide me with what

I asked for on this list.

Ida, everyone is giving their opinion, except you.

Everyone seems to have an opinion, but...

What about you?

Do you want this baby?

Yes, of course, but not now.

Not under these conditions.

It would be too dangerous for all of us.

It's true.

It's not just about religion.

I saw a baby that was snatched from its mother's arm and killed before my eyes.

And I couldn't do anything?

I made a promise to myself that if I could save a life,

I wouldn't hesitate. That's why

when I had to hide you, I did it

without asking any questions.

Ultimately, saving a life is not enough; merely surviving is not enough.

We must live, otherwise this world will have won.

Major Ruegmer, would you keep this baby?

Yes.

So there's no way I'm going to eliminate another Jewish baby, as I said earlier.

He won't get rid of you, of us.

I say that we must keep hope alive.

Because if we have Dick, then something inside us will die too.

But if things go wrong, we will all pay the price.

Things have already gone badly enough.

And we're still here.

When I was little, I... I hated it when

my mother made me do the dishes.

I never would have believed that one day I would be looking forward to this moment.

But hey, I never thought that one day I would be living in a cellar.

Philly, quick, quick, quick.

You scumbag!

I know you're hiding Jews in this house.

I'm giving you until 7:00 this evening to bring me 60,000 Zloty in a bag.

Then take it to the station and place it on the bench near the clock. Don't

grab the person, don't turn around.

I will watch you and I will not hesitate to strike you down.

If you do not obey, the Gestapo will arrest you all.

Where would one find such an amount?

And even if we paid him, what would stop him from asking for more?

The person behind all this cannot be sure.

It might be a shot in the dark.

In which case, if we pay him, we confirm that he was right.

Yes, but if we don't pay him, he'll go to the Gestapo.

And this time, we'll get a real search.

We're talking to a brick wall, we don't have the means to pay for it.

Irina has done enough for us.

Perhaps we should wait until nightfall.

No, that's out of the question.

Besides, who's to say he's not outside watching the house?

There may be a clever way out.

Irina, show the letter to the Major.

No, stop it, you're not well. What ?

That's ridiculous. Please , may I?

Look. What happens

if we simply tear out the sentence at the top:

Trash?

The thing is, when reading the message, you don't know that it's addressed to a woman.

One might think the message is for the Major.

It's brilliant.

Someone, someone is trying to destroy me.

I will kill him. Does

this port really think they can accuse me of harboring Jews?

Irina, you who know every nook and cranny

of the villa, I don't see where or how I could hide

Jews there, do you?

Impossible, Major Woodmer. Rockita.

I am...

I am the victim of blackmail.

This matter falls under the jurisdiction of the Gestapo.

I ask you to take the necessary measures immediately.

I received a letter asking me to pay

60,000 złotis tonight. Otherwise,

this blackmailer will go to the Gestapo and say that I am harboring

Jews under my roof.

Under my roof.

You came to my house often and you could be

considered an accomplice.

Irina?

Maybe.

You may be right.

Irina.

I need you to do something for me.

Calm down, Irene.

Here.

Drink this.

Yes.

Yes.

Excellent.

What did she do?

Yes.

You have...

Thank you, dear friend.

Good night.

It was Rockita.

He says you let out a piercing scream when a poor old man accidentally bumped into you

and that you would make a very bad spy.

The blackmailer is in the hands of the Gestapo.

Did you see who that man was?

For what ? Are they going to ask me to identify him?

No.

I don't think so.

Because they shot him down.

Pork.

You did a good job.

You can take the day off.

I will know how to make my own breakfast.

THANKS.

And if you see any Jews in the cellar, give them my greetings.

Good morning. Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning.

You are welcome. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

THANKS. THANKS.

Thank you.

That's not possible. I'm not sure.

I'm not sure. I'm not sure.

I'm glad you

finally accepted some help. Eh ?

You were right.

Thank you for hiring Mr. Schulz.

Excuse me, I'll stop you there. Hold.

It's so humid here. It's impossible to calm his asthma.

Lazard?

What is it?

The baby moved.

I would say that our army deployed too far on the Eastern front.

It's a classic mistake, but they don't listen to us.

Not in Berlin.

And meanwhile, the Soviets are making

progress every day.

In any case, that's what he keeps telling me .

I am pleased to see you, Mr. Schulz.

Since you left, my life has become a mortal enemy. Did

the guests enjoy the meal?

No, well, those who care about their food

obviously appreciate what they are served.

But this Rockita, throughout the dinner,

kept his hand under the table, slipped under his secretary's skirt.

This man is a pig.

He couldn't wait until the end of the evening.

He led him to the Belvedere.

May I leave you to serve the coffee? Is there

a problem? No, no, everything is fine.

Okay, your turn. No, we can't start over.

Yeah. Do

you hear? No.

We no longer remember the "Hold on" message.

I have stomach cramps again.

Relaxation.

You're relaxed.

What's that here?

The end is still a long way off.

Listen, breathe deeply. Take a

deep breath.

Yes, here.

How are you.

Someone is arriving.

No. Excuse me, Major Rockita?

I brought you some schnapps and strudels.

The Major said you should try it.

No, no, thank you Irina, I don't need anything.

He'd better go back inside .

No, leave them, I'll pick them up.

Be careful where you step.

We'll get a glass of champagne.

We'll get back to our

business later.

Move forward. Move forward.

Everyone, the public police. Please

, what is this about? Move forward.

I am the housekeeper of the current Major.

Here, examine my papers. There are

no exceptions, move forward.

Come on, faster. Get moving

.

Attention, pay attention.

You were brought to this place

to witness a punishment.

This is what happens to the Arias who choose to shelter

Europe will be rid of them

And it will also be rid of them,

because this is the fate reserved for them.

Music, please.

The gleaner comes from my love,

to the sound of the enca campana.

The gleaner who consoles and calms,

seems like the salme of Saint-Palo.

The order of the Capilla

encompassed all this emotion.

Mientras que un alma de rodillas

pide de console, pide de pardon.

Good morning.

Irina, how can we help you today?

Is everything alright?

You don't look very well. No, it's okay, it's fine.

Is there anything we can do for you? It looks like you

saw a ghost.

What did you do?

I trusted you.

He might even be watching the house right now.

You are signing our death warrant.

Our arena is dead to both of us. Major Ruckmer.

Get rid of her, right now.

Go back to the hiding place.

What are you going to do?

I don't know yet.

Major Rueber. How dare you?

You are a good man. Deep down , I know it.

She's been hiding at my place since the beginning.

Three Jews in my house.

For her, that was the blackmailer's message.

And when Rockita came, you and the

Jews made fun of me, didn't you?

No, no, these three women did nothing wrong.

And these women, they became my friends.

They are Jews.

Jews.

Our enemies.

No, that's wrong, no, Major, they are nobody's enemies.

But if you think the punishment for that is death, then kill me.

Kill me, denounce me, it doesn't matter, but let them go.

Hand me over to the Gestapo, I'll admit it, but at least give them

a chance to escape.

I beg you, Major. The editor. Do

you think they'll believe me if I tell them I didn't know three

Jews were hiding in my house? Seriously ?

Rockitin will have me executed, if only to save his own skin?

It's like we're dead.

Irina, you have signed our death warrant.

Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us.

Shut up. The farm.

I said the farm.

The farm.

Irina, you are so magnificent. I am old.

And I'm fed up with all these massacres.

I can't take any of this anymore.

I can't take it anymore.

Report you.

There might be a way.

There might be a way to ensure that I

can keep your secret.

If I...

If I felt that deep down you loved me,

that you wanted a man from me. A man could do that for a woman

if he knew he was loved by her, for a woman who felt

desire for him.

Only under this condition.

It would have to be on the condition that you love me, Irina.

And I think you also have desire for me.

Major. Irina.

Irina, I...

I will help you.

I will do everything to keep your secret.

No, it's your secret.

Irina.

My love.

Tell me about your family.

For what ?

Because it interests me.

I want to know who you are.

What's the point of knowing who you are? What we do

defines who we are.

Yes.

My father is both a chemist and an architect, and my mother raised

my four younger sisters and me.

My mother is a warm and energetic woman.

It reminds me of someone who is by my side.

They took our house from us.

I just hope they're alive.

War is an abomination.

Animals behave better than humans.

My mother was quite strict,

but she had a heart of gold.

If she saw what I've become, what my life has become,

I think she would be overwhelmed with shame.

You are radiant, my love.

Mom.

Mom. No, but is that okay?

I'm sorry, miss. Miss ? She is

Polish.

You don't even deserve to be considered Polish.

Sleeping with a German officer, there's nothing to be proud of.

You shut up, Mom. Stop.

I beg you, she is old and senile.

She doesn't know what she's saying.

Who wants to serve?

Go ahead, serve it. Please,

I don't want any trouble.

Give me two dozen and four kilos of potatoes, please.

According to the newspaper, the Germans are losing ground.

They will never say it openly in an article,

but if you read between the lines, the Polish resistance is gaining ground,

making the task more difficult for the German army.

Their soldiers are used to the Russians' powerful, offensive style.

They will soon discover the strategic maneuvers of the Polish resistance fighters.

So there is hope.

The Soviet army seems to have the upper hand, but our troops will continue.

To fight. Not really, dear?

Apparently, the number of Polish resistance fighters

in the area is increasing.

Would you like an appetizer, Mr. Hopmann?

It surprises me that the old man continues to play the part by

assigning him to duty.

Yes, but she reconnected. Why not at the table?

I find it repugnant, the way he's courting that Polish sow. Hey

, are you jealous because he's prettier than you?

I'll take your things. Have

they already eaten all the appetizers?

Yes, Mr. Schulz.

They are delicious. Would

you allow me to take some to my quarters?

So I have something to snack on if I get hungry.

Anything to snack on?

Yes.

Of course.

Here.

You never know.

It can happen that you wake up in the middle of the night completely hungry.

And I brought a few extra blankets.

I wouldn't want you, Major, to suffer from the cold.

No, no. Don't

tell me anything.

I absolutely don't want to know anything.

Mr. Schulz, I hope.

I hope that one day I can meet your wife

and daughter and tell them what an exceptional person you are.

One day, yes, perhaps.

A day.

Oh, Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,

how green are we?

Oh, Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum,

how green are we?

You don't grow under sobezeit,

you don't have to worry about Winter, you don't have to worry.

Oh, Tannenbaum, oh Tannenbaum, I thought it was the size of the letter.

I have kitzanou, bim and zvotab, bim, zvonu,

déjadli, knef,

chenhanukah,

Le Dômei, Élohéinu Melech Haolam,

that Asam does not cime the avoté nous,

viamin ha hem, down to zman haze.

I'm going to go before anyone notices I'm gone.

Irina?

Merry Christmas to you. Merry Christmas. There's

nothing better than understanding them.

It's good.

Come.

Come. Come.

Come.

It's delicious. It's true ? Do

you like it?

I'll take another one. Yes, again.

I need to feel something. No, it's fine.

THANKS. Yes, big. Do

you want one? Wait.

Yes, yes, of course. I will start again .

Come on.

Shalom aleihem,

malahéhashaleh, malahéh eliyon.

Mi-melech, malahéh hableh,

hem ha-kadosh Baruchu.

Someone went to complain to headquarters in Berlin. It

all surely started with that odious rumor launched by his blackmailer.

By repeating a lie, that's what happens. In

short, in Berlin, they say that I fell in love with a Polish woman.

And now, because of this,

my authority and my command are being questioned.

Why me?

Why me?

Until now, I had a prestigious career and now it's over.

It's because of you.

It's your fault. It's

your fault.

Irina, everything...

Everything is falling apart.

Everything collapsed.

That's surprising.

Suspecting the speed at which everything can collapse.

We were promised it would last 1,000 years.

It won't even last until Easter.

I must soon leave to set up a new general staff

for the final defense of the homeland.

When I leave, you will have to lead your Jews into the forest.

Yes.

Yes I know.

Then you'll come and join me, right?

Yes.

Of course.

Yes.

Of course. Do

you want me to tell you something funny?

I thank God for your Jews.

Every day, I thank God for their existence.

Because if he didn't exist , if he didn't exist, I would

never have experienced these moments with you.

Has the baby been born?

Not yet.

So, I'll see you again in a few days, yes?

Yes, in a few days.

No.

What do you think?

If we shorten the sleeves a little, it will be perfect.

In the end, you're a real seamstress.

Congratulations, Henry.

Okay, next one.

For you.

One last trip and that's it.

But that checkpoint wasn't there a little while ago .

There's one now. Ca

n't you stop him from coughing? We know that.

I don't see what else we can do.

The baby, the baby is pushing, it's pressing against my stomach.

Burst of laughter. Go ahead, laugh out loud.

Do what he tells you, laugh.

Hey, soldier, go fuck yourself with your comrade. Good evening.

And pick up your weapon. Let's go .

I thought the other guy had left the city.

And that one of the very best. Ruler.

Henry. Helen.

Are you Irina? Yes.

Irina Agoud.

Sousia, Clara, Thomas,

Marianne, Joseph, Abraham, Alex. We have to go.

It would not be wise to linger here.

Yes, I wanted to make sure we hadn't forgotten anyone.

We're all here, Irina.

All right. I hope we'll see each other again soon.

Me too.

THANKS. Hita.

Lazard, take care of your family.

Promised.

We have nothing to fear anymore.

To life.

The queen. The queen.

THANKS. Sousia.

We will not forget you, Divena.

THANKS.

Come on. Good luck.

THANKS.

Irina.

Clara, my friend.

My God.

Yes, you. He speaks to God.

If there's anything I can do to help you, please let me know.

We will be calling on you very soon.

In the meantime, be careful.

We have to go, let's go.

Quickly, let's hurry him up.

You and you. Redouz the van.

One day, you promised to help us.

Today, we're taking the device.

Here is your passport.

THANKS.

Sophie Soverstein. So,

you've become a Jewish woman.

We're going to transfer you out of Poland to a refugee camp where you'll be free.

This is my baby.
