This WWII drama explores the complications that result when a German peasant couple agrees to harbor a young Jew, Albert, who is escaping the Nazis. The farmer, who is impotent, suggests an unorthodox deal. He asks Albert to sleep with his wife and father a child on his behalf. Against the background of war and escape, an unpredictable drama of jealousy, sexuality, and betrayal unfolds that turns offenders into victims and vice versa.
