Plot
The plot focuses on Ángel Sanz Briz, a Spanish ambassador in Hungary during World War II. Operating until early 1944 in Budapest, he helped to save the lives of thousands of Jews from the Holocaust. He issued them protective papers and lodged them in Spanish safe houses, covered by the embassy's sovereignty. At that time, the Hungarian government was persecuting and deporting Jews to Nazi death camps.
A romantic storyline follows the lovelife of Antal, a Hungarian Jew who falls in love with the daughter of an Arrow Cross official of the Fascist government. Antal slowly turns to the resistance movement to save the couple.[2]
