When a Folk High School is turned into an internment camp for German refugees, the headmaster couple Jakob and Lis and their children are thrust into an impossible situation. Should the family help the refugees - or stand firm in the Danish resistance against the Germans?

The feature is a touching and nerve-wrecking drama about a family under pressure and the limits of charity.
