Felix is a young German living in Berlin in 1941. His father is Jewish but his mother is German; his father has been dismissed from his job and they are having trouble making ends meet. Liesl is a young and naive girl who is engaged to be married to a high-ranking officer in the SS. On a night when she is out for one last adventure before her wedding the two meet.

Liesl is not happy in her marriage to her very controlling husband and she gets no help or understanding from her parents. Felix and his father are arrested; Felix spends the rest of the war in a concentration camp.

At the end of the war Liesl and her husband are whisked away to Argentina to avoid any prosecution. Felix becomes a lawyer and is determined to bring all the criminals to trial. But he never gives up hope of finding Liesl, or Hannah as he knows her.
