In Tranzit Page #3

Synopsis: In the winter of 1946, in Leningrad, a group of German prisoners of war are sent to a female transit camp by the cruel Russian Commander Pavlov. When they arrive, the Russian female soldiers show the hostility to the enemies that have killed their husbands, families and friends; only Dr. Natalia and the cook treat the prisoners with dignity. Natalia has an agreement with Commander Pavlov to keep her former lover, who was wounded on the head during the war and is slow, in the camp instead of sending him to an institution in Siberia. Pavlov assigns Natalia to disclose members of the SS infiltrated in the group of prisoners. Natalia and the prisoner Max feel a great attraction for each other while the prisoner Klaus tries to convince Max to denounce a couple of prisoners to satisfy the Russian. Natalia convinces the businessman Yakov to organize an orchestra with the prisoners; they are invited to play in a ball, where the lonely women that survived the war dance with the Germans. After t

We are just slaves, aren't we?

Everyone is in the same boat.

We'd better stick together -

We are all we've got here.

Bort!

Report to the doctor's office

immediately.

He's to bring some tools.

Ah, the doctor's office.

At least I'll get out of

this cold for a while.

Lucky you.

What's wrong?

Are you afraid of rats?

No. Are you?

In Leningrad,

the rats could hardly move.

Just like the rest of us.

We picked them up by their tails...

...and threw them on the stove

and toasted them.

Ate them, skin and all.

Colonel Pavlov,

the supplies are in order.

This one's not very thin, is he?

Positively overfed.

Reduce their rations by one third.

I can't have German prisoners

fattening up...

...when Soviet citizens go hungry.

The Soviet people

have shown you great mercy.

Far greater than any of you deserve.

Of course, some of you may wish to

atone for your crimes.

Others of you are hoping...

...that you will

escape punishment altogether.

I can tell...

What shall we do with the prisoners,

Comrade?

Let them stay out here

and contemplate their crimes.

You know, Comrade doctor...

...I feel you should keep a closer eye

on your ailing husband.

You're not as badly wounded

as people think you are...

...are you, Andrei?

Your wife's a very attractive woman.

Is that upsetting for you...

...the fact that she's

around men all day long?

So - what did that son of

a b*tch have to say to Olga?

Oi!

We're all on the same side.

Except, while we were

starving in Leningrad...

...he and his cronies were

hiding out in their cosy NKVD bunker.

He and his cronies have

the power to send you to Siberia.

So, even in Siberia they need doctors.

Compliments -

from the 'son of a b*tch'.

No.

Come on.

Man, we all need

a little vodka now and then.

Pavlov was asking about

Klaus Prompst...

...and Max Bort.

He suspects them,

so we're to keep an eye on them.

And on Andrei, too.

Andrei?

Why? Why Andrei?

Pavlov reckons he isn't up to the job.

That Olga should replace him.

No - if he goes, I go too.

Calm down.

He just thinks he'd be better off

in a sanitorium, that's all.

Oh, let me guess where that is.

Siberia?

We must all take care.

Today's inspection

wasn't something he dreamt up.

Someone is informing on us.

They will starve to death.

We owe them nothing.

We're not their executioners,

either.

Do you really think

I give a sh*t about those Nazis?

We still have a duty to

the prisoners in our care.

Then what we need is proper jobs...

...and proper food for them.

And what about the railway depot?

That crazy Jew? What about him?

I'm sure Yakov could

use the extra workers.

You can have them as long as you like.
