Friedrich (Mathieu Carrière) is a wealthy, handsome German soldier fighting in World War II. His unit is stationed in Poland and occupies the estate of Countess Elzbieta (Maja Komorowska). Forced to remain in her presence, Friedrich begins to pursue Elzbieta out of boredom. As she rejects each of his advances, his mild flirtations blossom into an intense passion. As their romantic adventure heats up inside the estate, the Polish resistance movement flares up outside.
