An anti-Nazi film, it depicted a Russian girl enslaved to an inhuman German family.[2][3] She is even robbed of her name and forced to answer to "No. 217".[4] Subplots depict abuse directed at other POWs.[4] This reflected the use by Nazis of OST-Arbeiter as slave labour, including as family servants.
