In the waning days of World War 2, an American fighter pilot from the famed Red Tails crash-lands in southwest Germany. A man helps the pilot escape from the burning plane and takes him home. The rescuer turns out to be a German Luftwaffe pilot recovering from an aerial combat injury. He, his wife, and the American pilot become friends over discussions on racism, anti-Semitism, families, books, and anti-war sentiment. The war ends several days later.
