In 1944, seven forced labourers take refuge in a German bunker, only to find themselves incarcerated when the entrance is blocked by bomb damage.  Fortunately, there are enough reserves of food and drink to keep them alive for years.  Unable to escape from their living tomb, the seven men soon give way to apathy and despair.  Only two of them will survive their seven long years of captivity...
