Plot
In 1943, Filip, a young Polish Jew, escapes the massacre of the Warsaw Ghetto. Disguised as a French Gentile, Filip works as a waiter in a restaurant in Frankfurt am Main in an exclusive hotel and carelessly enjoys all the charms of life surrounded by luxury, beautiful women, and friends from all over Europe. However, when the war begins to take a bloody toll on those closest to him, the intricately built world that surrounds him crumbles like a house of cards.
