Switzerland, 1943. Emma lives in a rural Protestant village teeming with hypocrisy — both moral and political. Set against the backdrop of WWII, at a time when Switzerland, hiding behind a veil of “neutrality,” refuses to take a stance and willingly turns Jews over to the Nazis, Emma’s exquisite story is one of making choices, quiet acts of defiance, and courageously taking a stand, be it societal or personal. Most of all, it’s a sublime, plain-spoken story of female emancipation.
