1942. Fritz and Emma hide Albert, a Jew on the run, at their remote farm in the Black forest. Fritz and Emma’s dream of a son and heir casts dark shadows on their marriage. Fritz takes a liking to the young man and proposes that he father a child for him. Albert feels obligated to Fritz and finally agrees. Emma has nothing to say in the matter. Emma discovers her sexuality, Fritz jealousy and Albert animosity. All of them become offenders and all of them become victims.
