In Nazi-occupied Tirana, 1943, Dr. Faik Berisha turns his hospital into a refuge for Jewish families to repay a personal debt. Complications arise when he saves the wife of Hauptsturmführer Schmidt, creating an uneasy bond between them. As Faik’s wife harbors a Jewish child pianist, nurse Eliza hides her Jewish heritage while falling for a German soldier, and ambitious Dr. Agron manipulates both sides. When a fabricated epidemic becomes terrifyingly real, Faik organizes a desperate mountain escape, culminating in a moral confrontation with Schmidt that challenges both men to redefine humanity in an inhumane world where every choice demands sacrifice and dignity survives in unexpected places.
