As a fast-paced historical drama of a young Austrian aristocrat's struggle against tyranny, war, and social upheaval, Lady in the Castle portrays a survivor and lady emerging strong, but filled with a deep sense of purpose and commitment to honoring the defenders of the Battle of Castle Itter.
The year is 1945, and the Gestapo sentences Maria Von Eickler to death at Dachau concentration camp for treason. Her husband, Josef, marched off to war immediately following their wedding night and serves in the Wehrmacht, fighting on the Western Front. Her plight remains unknown to him.
Kurt, an SS officer and childhood friend, rescues her from certain death, bringing her to serve high-ranking French politicians and soldiers imprisoned by Hitler in Castle Itter, located in the Austrian Tyrol. Lady in the Castle is a triumph of the human spirit.
