An interesting perspective on WWII, what happens to the diplomats stranded when war breaks out, add in a luxury mountain resort, a love triangle and magical water and you’ve got a good story.

Feels like a story that was written well before our current time. Sure, nazi salutes were maybe shocking to see once upon a time in the 1940s. But a big moment toward the end… kind of doesn’t land. We’re too used to living with Nazis in 2025.
