This is a true story of facts which occurred in the area of Mauthausen in February 1945 and to which is referred to as the “Hare-hunt in the Mühlviertel".

They know that in the camp their days are numbered and they decide to join others in a secret escape plan. Only 150 prisoners succeed in making it outside the compound alive.
