A Wehrmacht officer's moral awakening leads him to aid Jewish prisoners, culminating in a tragic escape and his eventual turn to resistance.
Stationed in a secluded Bulgarian village in 1943, Walter – a German Wehrmacht sergeant and artist – lives in almost idyllic distance from the war. Then a transit camp is set up for Jews arriving from Greece. When Ruth, one of the internees, asks Walter to help a pregnant woman, the two form an unlikely bond.
