As Karl is about to leave, the doctor\'s wife from the movie \"The Secrets We Keep\" recalls that he was one of the officers in the concentration camp where she was held for a long time after the capture of her hometown by the German army. Fragments of memory terrify her. Despite this, she begins to follow him, wanting to avenge the suffering caused.
