Academy Award winner Anthony Quinn stars with Virna Lisi as a simple Romanian who only wants to work his farm and live in peace with his wife—but who is caught in the whirlwind of war in The 25th Hour.
At the outbreak of World War II, Johann Moritz (Quinn) is taken away to a German concentration camp after local police chief Nicolai Dobresco (Gregoire Aslan) —who covets Moritz' wife, Suzanna (Lisi) —falsely accuses Moritz of being Jewish.
Moritz suffers as a prisoner of first the Germans, then the Russians and finally the Americans while Dobresco tries to take Mortiz' wife and farm in this biting satirical drama.
