Overview
On Christmas Eve, 1944, in Nazi-occupied Slovakia, the Kubiš family grapples with survival amidst brutal reprisals. Marián collaborates as a fascist guard leader, while his sister Angela has an affair with their Nazi lodger, Major Brecker. The situation escalates when their younger son, Juraj, a former partisan fighter, returns home wounded. As Germans search homes for escapees, Juraj hides in the attic, while an unsettling Christmas dinner unfolds below with Major Brecker present.

Viewing Notes
Excellent but depressing black and white Slovakian film about the German occupation, resistance fighters, collaborators and those caught in-between in 1943. Again, great movie but maybe not the best fit for a marathon.
