The play is set at the famous Pankrc prison in Prague, in the summer 1945, just weeks after the German defeat: a short period of liberation euphoria is soon followed by a turbulent time of revenge and retribution. Nazis and traitors are prosecuted, public executions happen daily.Sharing one prison cell awaiting their trial are five women accused of Nazi collaboration. Each of them has to testify knowing the gallows is waiting. Based on historical material, the play tells a gut-wrenching story of human relationships asking questions about guilt, revenge, betrayal, trust and survival.
