The outbreak of World War II helps a French simpleton named Abel (John Malkovich) - who was wrongfully accused of attacking a young girl - avoid prison time. But when his army unit gets captured, he's imprisoned in a Nazi camp. The film unravels into a dark fairy tale in which Abel is groomed to train Hitler youth under the direction of der Führer's right-hand man, Hermann Goering (Volker Spengler).
