Set in Hungary in World War II, Melvina "Malka" Csizmadia is an 18-year old Christian girl living with her mother, Olga, & sisters, Maria & Irena (played by Caterina) next to the Jewish ghetto. On the other side of the fence, Malka meets Szarany (Michael Rapaport), a Jewish soldier who's been arrested & is now living in the ghetto. She offers to help him, first by delivering letters to the Resistance, then by by helping dig a hole under the Brewery to reach the ghetto through which the Jews can flee. They are successful, and many Jews, along with Malka's family, escape to Czechoslovakia.

This film originally aired on Showtime in 1998, and was produced in part by Barbra Streisand.
