Saviors in the Night (Unter Bauern) is based on the memories of Marga Spiegel. she describes how courageous farmers in southern Münsterland hid her, her husband Siegfried {named Menne} and their little daughter Karin from 1943 until 1945.The film tells this story of survival with a sense for the absurd in daily life and not without the typical Westphalian humor.
