Autumn 1943. One morning, young Rosa Sauer (Elisa Schlott) - whose husband is at the front and who has fled bomb-stricken Berlin to her in-laws' home in the northeastern Polish village Gross-Partsch - is taken to the Nazi headquarters Wolf's Lair, where she is forced along with other women to eat the meals destined for the Führer: every day, three times, she is forced to come close to death to make sure that that food is not poisoned. In this atmosphere of coercion, and torn between the fear of dying and the hunger that devours them, the tasters will form alliances, friendships and secret pacts among themselves, without ceasing to hope.
