Thessaloniki, 1943. A young Jew runs away from the Dachau death trains and returns home to hide. But in his supposedly empty house (following the persecution of Thessalonikis Jews) now live two Greek couples, whose homes have been bombarded. The Greeks will hide the Jew, but their German and Greek friends are out for blood.
