It happens in the chill of a September evening, 1939: Their small Polish community is raided, burned to the ground. Anna, a devoutly Catholic teen, pieces as her friend is taken, as her dad is dragged off for conscription in the German army. Szymon, the young community priest, stands silently along with his parishioners as their cathedral is ransacked and torched. Anna clings to him - her dear friend and confidant - and by some good fortune, the Germans spare them. Five Septembers later, Anna and Szymon still cling alongside one another, now amid the turmoil of warfare. Though Anna dreads her proposal to a local ruffian and Szymon concerns for his father's life back home, both find solace in their friendship. But when the Soviet army involves "liberate" them, Anna endures an unspeakable atrocity and Szymon suffers his own tragedy. Now bound even more tightly by the sorrows they take, they face a selection: honor the vows they've designed to others or risk everything for the chance at salvation in each other.
