Plot


In 1941 France, during the Nazi occupation of the country, Werner von Ebrennac, a German Wehrmacht captain, requisitions the house of a man and his granddaughter, Jeanne Larosière, a young piano teacher, as his lodging. The officer, passionate about French culture, speaks perfect French and is also a classical pianist and composer. Every evening he shares his ideals and his passion for France with his hosts, who oppose him with a fierce and unshakable silence, the only way for them to mark their hostility to the German occupation. Jeanne tries to ignore Werner, but she soon becomes infatuated with the German officer.
