Labyrinth of Peace (TV Series)

Florida Premiere

This enthralling six-part dramatic miniseries — inspired by true yet little-known events — offers an intimate portrait of a family trying to move forward in “neutral” Switzerland after World War II finally ends. While Klara tries to mend the wounds of the war by caring for young, displaced Holocaust survivors, her fiancé Johann plans to modernize and save the family’s troubled textile company. And his brother, just home from military service, takes his first steps in the Attorney General’s office hunting down escaped Nazis. With the twists and turns of the best kind of thriller, the world of these three young idealists explodes as they come to realize that the façade of peace was bought with the blood of the victims of the war. With high production values and memorable performances, Labyrinth of Peace is a compelling portrait of an industrial family dynasty, inspired by true, yet little-known events in post-WWII “neutral” Switzerland.
