Antwerp, 1940.  Lieve is married to Adriaan, a Belgian nationalist.  When Belgium falls to Nazi Germany, Adriaan switches his allegiances and goes to fight on the Eastern Front.  Lieve is less willing submit to the Nazis and she shelters a resistance member, François, who is being hunted by the German patrols.  The two fall in love and it is thanks to François that Lieve avoids being punished as a collaborator after the Liberation.  When she learns that her husband has been thrown into prison, Lieve knows that she must end her affair with François and do what she can to save Adriaan...
