English Summary:
Enclosure (French: L'Enclos) is a 1961 French–Yugoslav drama film directed by Armand Gatti. It was entered into the 2nd Moscow International Film Festival where Gatti won the Silver Prize for Best Director.
Gatti focuses on two men in a German concentration camp who have been cruelly penned inside an enclosure. One of the men, Karl (Herbert Wochinz), is a strong, bitter anti-Nazi German – a target of the Gestapo. The SS wants information on a rumored organization of resistance fighters inside the prison and they know he has it. The other man, David (Jean Negroni) is a Jew. If one of the men dies within a certain time then the other will be released. He will not be killed. Otherwise, both will be executed. The resistance fighters in the prison try to help the two as best they can, while the pair inside the enclosure slowly come to know each other as though they were brothers.
French Summary:
En 1944, dans un camp de concentration, un officier S.S. fait placer dans un enclos spécial deux condamnés à mort : Karl, détenu politique allemand membre de l'organisation clandestine antinazie du camp, et David, juif français. On leur annonce que celui qui tuera son compagnon sera gracié.
Printemps 1944 . Au camp de concentration de Ianenberg, un officier S.S a eu l'idée de jeter dans un enclos spécial deux détenus condamnés à mort, un allemand, Karl, et un juif français, David. Ils passeront la nuit ensemble, mais à l'aube, celui qui aura eu l'atroce courage de tuer son compagnon sera gracié. Karl, déporté depuis dix ans, est un membre important de l'organisation clandestine antinazie du camp. Ses nombreux amis décident de le sauver. Des préparatifs fébriles coupés d'alertes aériennes occupent cette nuit tragique. Le plan consiste à faire sortir Karl de l'enclos et à le remplacer par un cadavre au visage défiguré. Ainsi les S.S. croiront qu'il été tué par son compagnon.[source : unifrance]
