When Leonora Popescu witnesses the 1940 Dorohoi massacre while
fleeing with her two children from the Soviets, her travail has
just started. Although raised in a well-to-do home, she needs all
the strength she has to survive and keep her children fed. Her
husband, Peter, survives Stalingrad by being wounded. After he
recovers they are again separated when he is sent back to the
eastern front. Leonora continues to move west to avoid falling into
Soviet hands. Driven by a need to stay faithful to her marriage
vows, she spurns chances for an easier life. This makes her reunion
with Peter, after the war, a bitter experience since he is living
with a woman that saved his life. The characters, though
fictitious, are based on composites of real people. The history is
correct and, although the details are freely invented, the tank
battles and other military events are real.
