In a bombed-out French village, Saunders (Vic Morrow) is astonished to come across a well-tended rose garden completely unscathed by the ravages of war. The garden is watched over by a young, mentally challenged girl named Jeanine (Antoinette Bower), who having lost her entire family has retreated into a world of her own. Saunders must convince Jeanine and her elderly guardian Celeste (Penny Santon) to leave the village before the arrival of the Germans, but the girl refuses to budge: she is convinced that as long as her garden is safe, no harm will ever come to her. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
