Life in the village is tense; its inhabitants must navigate the constant threat of the Gestapo and the fear of reprisals if they dare to raise their voices against their oppressors.
When a German soldier arrives in the village, instead of instilling fear, he establishes a curious type of relationship with the locals that defies expectations.
