In the spring of 1945, the Wehrmacht forces are weary from retreat, while the Allies are closing in. A single Austrian captain attempts to guide what is left of his platoon behind the Soviet lines to surrender to the Americans. They take under their wing a young man with a severe disability. As the loyalty of his men is put to the test, the captain grows closer to the boy who evokes a deep secret from his past in the Third Reich.
