Violette, a young student from Vienna, is forced to drop out of university due to being Jewish. She escapes from the Nazis and joins the partisans, where she meets her red-haired lover.
In Nazi-occupied Poland, Hannah, a Jewish prisoner, and Erik, a conflicted Nazi soldier, find love in the unlikeliest of places-a concentration camp. Their stolen moments offer a glimpse of hope in a world consumed by war, but love cannot survive where mercy is a crime. As fate closes in, they must choose between risking everything or letting go before the flames consume them.
