The Kalefs were one of the Belgrade’s oldest families, and could trace their roots back more than 300 years.
When the Nazis swept into Serbia in 1941, that came to an end.
While scores of relatives were being shot and gassed, Dona Bat Kalef fled with her two daughters, Breda and Matilda, to a Catholic church in Banovo Brdo.
«Can you protect us?» she asked the priest. Father Andrej Tumpej did indeed save Dona and her daughters, and this film tells their story.
