It is April 1945 and the residents of the mining town of Penzberg hear on the radio that the war is over. American troops could reach the city in southern Germany at any moment. The Nazi mayor is deposed by the old mayor and a number of other men, including Marie's father. Schorsch is 15 and is in the Hitler Youth. He is in love with Marie. When a fanatical sect of the Wehrmacht, who does not want to surrender, arrests the old mayor and his supporters, Marie and Schorsch are witnesses to a terrible event outside the town. Marie's father has to go into hiding and Schorsch sees with his own eyes what the Wehrmacht does to all the so-called traitors. As the son of a Nazi, he faces a difficult choice.
