In the spring of 1945, the Allied armies invade Nazi Germany as the end of World War II draws near. Heinrich (Robert Maaser), a decorated Wehrmacht veteran, is captured after his desertion attempt and hanged by a platoon of Waffen-SS led by a fanatical and somewhat deranged Obersturmbannführer (lieutenant colonel) von Starnfeld (Alexander Scheer). He is rescued by Elsa (Marie Hacke), who brings him to her farm home that she shares with her brother Paule, who has Down syndrome. Meanwhile, the SS arrive in the nearby village and begin to search looking for a large amount of hidden gold in a destroyed house previously occupied by a Jewish family.
Starring: Robert Maaser, Marie Hacke, Alexander Scheer, Jördis Triebel
