"It's 1938 and the world is on the brink of World War II," according to Geneva press notes. "An aristocratic German Jew, who has fled Nazi Germany, arrives in Geneva asking for help. A pretty young secretary (Begonia Brown), left to run the International Committee for Peace office alone, writes a letter to the League of Nations. Eventually, Hitler, Franco and Mussolini all converge on Geneva for a peace trial to state their case."
