Seven Days of Sin (Czech: 7 dní hříchů) is a 2012 Czech action historical drama film directed by Jiří Chlumský.[1]
Based on a true story set in the Sudetenland, an area of Czechoslovakia occupied by Nazi Germany, in the spring of 1945, the film begins with the wedding of forester Jan Olšan and his beloved Agnes. Their union is problematic due to the fact that Jan is Czech, and Agnes is German. Agnes's father and brother Jürgen both oppose the marriage, as they feel that by marrying a Czech, Agnes will dilute their pure German blood. As the war comes to an end and the area is liberated, Agnes is persecuted by the Czechs and goes missing. Jan and Jürgen go in search of her, and the former is eventually accused of collaborating with the Nazis.
