Holland 1944 - The final years of the Second World War find the beautiful singer Rachel Stein (Carice Van Houten) taking refuge with the Tsjempkema family in rural Holland. Once a popular and wealthy singer, Rachel has been waiting out the war like many Jews in Europe, separated from her family and a moment away from being caught by the Gestapo. Her temporary safe-house is destroyed by an Allied bomber under fire by a German fighter and Rachel is left in the arms of Rob (Michel Huisman), a sympathetic young boy, who promises to help her to safety. The next morning, Rob takes Rachel to her contact in town, who she hopes will help her find her family and escape across into liberated territory. watch
South by Southwest is in full swing and the roomies are busy gathering footage for their documentary. First up is the band Halifax, whom everyone seems to like except for Lacey. When the band chills at the Real World house, Rachel develops a little crush on lead singer Mike. This leads her to drunkenly show off for him, diving into the basketball game and pulling it off the wall and breaking it. The sight of a broken basketball game brings out gloomy faces in the boys. Nehemiah blows a gasket and begins to belittle Rachel, which sends her into tears. The next morning Danny, Wes and Rachel hit the road to film the band Hellogoodbye at their campsite. While in the car, Danny mentions how much trash Lacey talks about everyone behind their back. After not being able to find the band, the three return home to a call from Forrest, the lead singer, wondering where they are. Lucky for them the band is camping the next day as well, but Rachel tries to pass off the interview to Lacey's team. Lac watch
