Based on real historical events, Spring of Life is a disturbing melodrama about a young girl's involvement in Lebensborn, the Nazi's dream to create a master race. Just before the outbreak of WWII, a young Czech girl, favoured by occupying Nazi officials for her blonde good looks, is taken away from her family to a remote spa where she receives an education and everything she could want. It is only when eager Nazi SS officers come to spend the night that she discovers the sinister truth that she is being groomed as part of a breeding programme to further Aryan lineage...

The Czech film Spring of Life caught my attention at school when we watched it as part of a lesson. It was probably in Czech, but I'm not sure. I was particularly interested in the subject matter, which I didn't know at the time. It is a strong subject with good characters in a film that deserves to reach the audience more.
