When three little girls—Anna, Bernie, and Elica—make a pact to be blood sisters for life, they believe nothing can come between them. Anna is from an affluent Jewish family, while Bernie and Elica are from poor Austrian families who barely make ends meet. As they get older, their social differences become all too real. With infectious Jew-hate-laden rhetoric from Nazi Germany spreading into Austria, it is only a matter of time before their bond of friendship gets severely tested.

It is 1938, and eighteen-year-old Sidney Chambers is dancing the quickstep with Amanda Kendall at her brother Robert’s birthday party at the Caledonian Club. No one can believe, on this golden evening, that there could ever be another war. Returning to London seven years later, Sidney has gained a Military Cross, and lost his best friend on the battlefields of Italy. The carefree youth that he and his friends were promised has been blown apart, just like the rest of the world – and Sidney, carrying a terrible, secret guilt, must decide what to do with the rest of his life.

Story
Die junge Theresa arbeitet 1943 als Sekretärin im Lebensborn-Heim "Pommern" in Bad Polzin. Eines Tages kommt mit einem Transport polnischer Kinder, die eingedeutscht werden sollen, ein Junge ins Heim, der stumm zu sein scheint. Theresa nimmt sich des Dreijährigen an und animiert ihn zum Sprechen, weil sie nicht will, dass er als "beschädigte Ware" aussortiert wird. Denn die SS, deren oberster Führer Heinrich Himmler den Lebensborn-Verein 1935 gegründet hatte, um das Land mit "gutem Blut" zu versorgen, kann nur einwandfreies "Material" gebrauchen.
