Ukraine, October 1941: A small group of scattered German soldiers occupies a beautiful little settlement of Russian-Germans. There are only about a dozen women, a few children, and some old people left in the village. They welcome the German soldiers happily as "liberators", hopefully getting rescued from the impending Russian deportation. Even the young German soldiers appear to be ordinary human beings with a civilian past, joking and fooling around. Both groups peacefully get closer and nearly become friends. But then an assault occurs: a young woman is killed by the German officer, and in return the officer is killed in retaliation by a villager. Now the situation changes. The villagers and the former seemingly friendly German soldiers start to torture and execute each other. Soldiers and civilians become brutal killers, committing crimes they surely won't tell their grandchildren.
