synopsis
Featured performances by American performers Adam West (best known in the U.S. as television's "Batman") and Rod Taylor distinguish this Yugoslavian action film about partisans. Anna is a Jewish girl who hopes to rescue her grandfather from the concentration camps. She encounters an Austrian soldier (West) whom she knew before the war. He wants to help her, but she will not allow it, knowing the danger involved. During their meeting the partisans attack, and she helps her friend escape then opts for joining the partisans rather than hiding out with the other Jews in her area.
