A delegation from the International Committee of the Red Cross is received at Theresienstadt in early summer. The ghetto has been repainted, gardens planted, signs put up, and convoys departed shortly before to reduce its density. The visitors follow a predetermined itinerary and leave with a reassuring report. A film is shot in the wake of this to extend the staging; its director, a detainee at Theresienstadt, is deported upon its completion.
