A beautiful and enchanting story of wartime love, loss and hope
June, 1944. Since her father’s stroke, Jean has been running her parents’ small farm almost single-handedly and is in desperate need of help. Karl, a German prisoner of war, turns out to be just what she needs. He is polite, hard-working and homesick, but is he more than that?
Fraternisation between the prisoners and the locals is forbidden, but as the weeks pass, Jean and Karl become closer — much to the dismay of her family and the contempt of Karl’s compatriots. Does their love have a future when it seems everyone is against them?
