Milan Cieslar directed this war drama based on an actual Nazi project to groom young Aryan women for breeding. Soon after the Sudetenland is ceded to Germany, Gretka aces a ‘biological race examination’ and is sent to the idyllic Isolde Spa. There she, along with fresh-faced lasses, endures a strict social and physical training routine, though the reason behind the regimen does not become clear until a band of lecherous SS officers show up. (Jonathan Crow)
