Basada en la historia real de una mujer asombrosamente valiente que salvó a cientos de madres y a sus hijos durante la Guerra Civil Española y la Segunda Guerra Mundial.
Elisabeth Eidenbenz salió de Suiza en 1937 para ayudar a los niños huérfanos durante la Guerra Civil Española. Ahora, su trabajo la ha llevado a Francia, donde está decidida a brindar refugio a las mujeres embarazadas y sus hijos nonatos en medio de una de las peores crisis humanitarias del siglo XX.
Elisabeth Eidenbenz salió de Suiza en 1937 para ayudar a los niños huérfanos durante la Guerra Civil Española. Ahora, su trabajo la ha llevado a Francia, donde está decidida a brindar refugio a las mujeres embarazadas y sus hijos nonatos en medio de una de las peores crisis humanitarias del siglo XX.
Desesperada por escapar de la invasión de las tropas fascistas de Franco, Isabel Dueñas se convierte en una de los muchos patriotas españoles que huyen de su paÃs. Deja atrás a su esposo mientras él lucha por la democracia y busca asilo en un campo de refugiados al otro lado de la frontera con Francia. Sin un refugio adecuado, agua potable limpia o atención médica, el futuro de Isabel parece sombrÃo, hasta que conoce a Elisabeth.
Cuando Alemania invade Polonia, una avalancha de humanidad arrasa Francia. En la cascada de crisis que sigue, Isabel y Elisabeth aprenden el costo y la inesperada alegrÃa del sacrificio.
Basada en historias reales de refugiados y de la mujer que arriesgó todo para salvarlos, La enfermera suiza comparte un mensaje de amor y fortaleza en medio de uno de los conflictos de la historia que a menudo se pasa por alto.
