Synopsis
The film is based on real events which took place in Switzerland.
The year is 1939. Jana Kessel is taken away from her parents by the “Pro Infantia” movement. After spending years in a children’s home, Jana is taken in as a foster child by a farming family, who use her as cheap labour and as a young woman she has to learn, to do the best for her own identity.
