The story follows a group of German soldiers, from their Italian R&R in the summer of 1942 to the frozen steppes of Soviet Russia and ending with the battle for Stalingrad.
To escape Christmas, Robert Lahnstein, TV commentator and misanthrope, wants to retreat to his mountain hut. But he puts the car in the ditch and can only use his last strength to escape in the snowstorm to a lonely barn, where six very different people have found refuge from the storm.
