WarDramaHistory

Switzerland barred refugees in WWII, saying “Our boat is full.” When a German train stops in a remote valley, six escapees—four Jews, a French child and a German deserter—find shelter at a village inn. They pretend to be a family, assigning each other roles, but the local constable’s investigation exposes the ruse, deciding who will be allowed to stay and who will be sent away.
