A bleak, black-and-white examination of authority and obedience set in the collapsing Third Reich, where a deserter's stolen uniform becomes a mirror for humanity's susceptibility to power.

Germany, 1945. Soldier Willi Herold, a deserter of the German army, stumbles into a uniform of a Nazi captain abandoned during the last and desperate weeks of the Third Reich. Newly emboldened by the allure of a suit that he has stolen only to stay warm, Willi discovers that many Germans will follow the leader, whoever he is.
