Clara Planck, a brilliant and famous cellist, returns to Poland 30 years after World War II to visit the places that still haunt her. Clara and her husband, Doctor Artur Planck, once had a family, home, and a medical practice in Warsaw. When Nazis invaded Poland and herded the Jewish population into the ghetto, their family barely had enough time to flee. The first safe place they sought refuge was in Emilia’s remote farm, where she conceals the Planck family in her attic. Emilia is a Polish woman who sold them vegetables and whose husband is missing in action. But she has ulterior motives hiding underneath her generosity.
