A teenage burglar breaks into the home of an elderly man, not expecting to find him there. To her surprise, she interrupts the man in the middle of a suicide attempt. Startled by her presence, the man makes her an offer - he will let her go free if she helps him finish what he started.

Post-war Poland. 10-year-old Marysia lives in the countryside with her mother, Helena, who survived a concentration camp. One day Helena announces that her brother - Marysia's uncle - is coming to join them for dinner. Although Marysia herself survived the occupation in shelter, she experiences first-hand that the nightmare of war does not end with the ceasefire.
