Synopsis:

An elderly Jewish man reads the diary of his sister Sarah Rosemblum, written during the German occupation of France in 1942. She was young, beautiful and in love. He was called Hans, an SS German officer who rejects the Nazi ideology and uses his powers to provide false papers to the Jews. To avoid persecution, Sarah changes her name to Louise Berger and hides in the safe house of Huguette, a cabaret singer. Strangers in peril pass through the safe house under the watchful eye of Huguette's mother Margot, struck mute since the death of her son. Despite the risk, Hans visits Louise in the safe house and, hidden from the world, their precarious relationship blooms. The arrival of Michael, a wanted French resistance fighter, shatters the calm of the safe house. The volatile ideology of the outside world creeps into this utopia and soon the safe house can't protect the young lovers, and they're forced to flee. This causes Jean to intervene, with dramatic consequences. The conflict has forged an impossible love, with purity that transcends the animosity of war.

An old man reads the diary of a young Jewish girl written during the German Occupation 60 years earlier. Sarah Rosemblum was 25 at the time. She was young, beautiful, in love. He was called Hans, an SS officer repelled by Nazi ideology, one of those who despised their uniform and used their position to provide Jews with false identity papers. Renamed Louise Berger, Sarah lives under the protection of Huguette, a generous cabaret singer who hides Jews and helps them get across to England. In her house, sheltered from the rest of the world, this unlikely couple can give free rein to their love affair. Unwittingly, they awaken the jealousy of another resident in the house: Robert, a young 16-year-old who is madly in love with Louise. Passions rage under the sphinx-like eye of Margot, Huguette's mother, who has not said a word since her son's death. But war catches up with those who love each other. Soon they will have to flee, until escape is no longer possible.
