Plot Summary

Successful doctor Artur Planck, his wife Clara, and their two daughters are seeking shelter from Germans storming Poland. They find a safe house in the farm of their local grocer Emilia, who is all alone after her husband never returned from fighting for his country. Amidst the horrors of the war that surround them, an impossible love triangle erupts as Emilia uncontrollably falls in love with Artur. Such a fragile arrangement is sustained by love--or is it just the will to survive? The answer to that question might not even be made known to those who make it out alive.
