A deeply spiritual true story of two sisters whose Christian faith sustains them through Nazi persecution, balancing the darkness of the Holocaust with profound warmth and hope rooted in their bond and belief.

Corrie and Betsie ten Boom are middle-aged sisters working in their father's watchmaker shop in pre-World War II Holland. Their uneventful lives are disrupted with the coming of the Nazis. Suspected of hiding Jews and caught breaking rationing rules, they are sent to a concentration camp, where their Christian faith keeps them from despair and bitterness.
