Peter Blunden, a New Zealand soldier captured in Crete, jumps from a train and escapes from his Nazi captors. He is taken into a safe house by Mrs. Tasoula, a dressmaker and a member of the Greek resistance movement. She employs several young dressmakers including Thalia Christidou, who wonders why the door to a room off the living room is always locked. This arrangement works well for some time, but the Germans are everywhere and there is mounting concern that the men will be discovered. Thalia sees them by accident, and soon Peter and Thalia become close.

In the heart of Nazi-occupied Europe, two people meet fleetingly in a chance encounter. Josefine Lobnik is a Yugoslav underground resistance fighter, Bruce Murray a New Zealand soldier and prisoner of war. A crumpled note passes between these two strangers and sets them on a course that will change their lives forever. This is an extraordinary true account of two ordinary people living through the unimaginable hardship of Hitler's barbaric regime.

Un'incredibile storia vera in cui l'amore sopravvive all'orrore della guerra. Dopo l'arresto e la tortura dei fratelli da parte dei nazisti, Josefine Lobnik decide di unirsi ai partigiani e combattere per la liberazione della Slovenia. Se questo significa aiutare gli inglesi e gli Alleati, è ben felice di dare il suo contributo. Quando assiste all'esecuzione sommaria di venti innocenti nella piazza della città di Maribor, Josefine teme che la stessa sorte possa essere toccata anche a uno dei suoi fratelli, di cui non ha più notizie.
