Appears to be a telemovie or definitely low budget. Don't let that put you off. The main actress and her mother are very good. Well told story with a very human touch.
It tells the story of two women arrested because the males of the family stood up to the German occupation of Denmark with a resistance group. The women are arrested and sentenced. They are imprisoned in Copenhagen firstly and then transported to Germany. The real ordeal occurs here. They are separated and then transported across Germany to various prisons where they are brutalised and starved. This continues until the end of the war with many who were with them dying. The mother struggles with every way possible to bring them home.
