Part 5/7:
As the death count rises and the institutional staff become increasingly indifferent to human suffering, Ernst and Nandl devise a plan to escape. Utilizing their resourcefulness, they gather provisions and prepare to flee under cover of night. An exhilarating boat ride on a nearby lake symbolizes both their hope and impending danger.
Unfortunately, their escape is thwarted by an unforeseen bombing, culminating in the tragic deaths of key figures like Sister Sophia and Amelie, who had been protecting Ernst and Nandl. These losses further darken the film’s tone, illustrating the collateral damage inflicted by a regime that values certain lives over others.
