Mark of Cain (1989)
A historical adventure film about the betrayal of one’s own conscience.
In 1866, as Austria faces war with Prussia, 19-year-old Ludvík Machl joins a secret Czech resistance group.

Trapped by fear and betrayal, Ludvík is forced down a path that leads inexorably toward his own destruction.
