Storyline

Žanis Lipke is an ordinary Latvian blue-collar worker. He works at a German military aviation warehouse during the day and smuggles goods at night to supplement his income. When the Germans begin brutal reprisals against Riga's Jews, he makes a difficult but humane decision that could put him and his family in grave danger. Jews begin escaping the Riga ghetto and labor camps in Žanis's truck, and when their temporary hiding place is about to be discovered, Žanis moves them to a bunker under his own home. Is Žanis's heroism driven by a sense of adventure and stubbornness, or by responsibility to his neighbors?
