In Nazi-occupied Poland, offering shelter to Jews is a death sentence, but Franciszka and Helena do exactly that. The family of Sokal hides a Jewish family in their loft above the pig yard, a Jewish doctor with his family under the kitchen, and a German soldier who defected from the army in the attic - all completely unknown to each other. The only way for everyone to survive is for Franciszka to outsmart the Germans and her neighbors.
