From the award-winning producer of The Zone of Interest, A Real Pain, Cold War, and Ida, comes a gripping drama about the fading line between right and wrong in the final breath of war.

As World War II draws to a close, a quiet German village confronts its darkest hour. With men away on the frontline, women like Greta and Anni strive to maintain normalcy amid encroaching chaos. The discovery of unknown corpses along the river shatters their fragile peace, sparking widespread fear that escalates into mass hysteria.

As more bodies surface, a chilling command emerges: “The Russians are not to find a single living German.” Panic grips the villagers, morality crumbles under survival's brutal weight, and impossible choices test the essence of humanity. In this isolated enclave, whispers of desperation turn to unthinkable acts, blurring lines between victim and perpetrator as advancing Soviet forces near.

What does survival signify when preserving life demands forsaking one's soul? The story probes the raw terror of war's final throes, where community bonds fracture and the human spirit faces annihilation.
