Divided We Fall

German-occupied Czechia a childless couple, Josef and Marie Cizek, can only watch while the Jewish family of their employers, the Wieners, are first removed from their own home to a spare room in their house by the Germans, then deported to the Theresienstadt concentration camp. Years later, young David Wiener, the sole surviving member of that family has managed to escape and make it to the Cizeks'. Although fully aware of the extreme danger of harboring a Jew in the Third Reich, the Cizeks can not permit themselves to leave David to certain death and agree to hide him. However, this decision leads to terrible danger of discovery by the Germans and especially their friend and German collaborator, Horst Prohazka, who is attracted to Marie. With desperate cleverness and luck, the Cizeks struggle to keep the secret, even when Horst begins to suspect. In doing so, they find themselves making unorthodox choices and learning about the true nature of the people around them.
