Poland, 1943. Four young characters are connected through a series of unusual events: ROMEK, a Polish boy from the town where the action takes place; GUIDO, a German soldier who was assigned to the village during the occupation; FRANKA, the daughter of a well-to-do local farmer; and BUNIA, a Jewish girl who escaped from a train on her way to a death camp. Each of them encounters something that at that moment is both a danger and an escape from their harsh reality: love. Can they hold on to their dreams as they face the horrors of their day and the uncertainty of the future?
