A wartime drama about privileged youth forced to confront the gap between romantic idealism and moral reality when sheltering refugees and soldiers brings genuine danger to their villa.

A group of rich young intellectuals hiding from the war in rural Italy play at being partisans when some disbanded soldiers and some refugees ask them for shelter in their villa. The young and aristocratic Andrea strikes up a friendship with a peasant girl, Lucia. Then the Germans suddenly appear, looking for the real partisans, and the time comes for serious decisions.
