A portrait of a group of people who are unwilling to give up Germany as their home, despite the Nazi threats. Wolfgang, a hat maker, is forced by others to flee Germany for England, leaving his mother behind, who refuses to go.

Wolfgang's struggle of adamant denial sheds light on the agony of losing the only home ones knows and loves.
