Rotterdam, May 1940. Baker’s assistant Vincent coincidentally meets well-to-do Eva, who is on the verge of marrying an industrialist. Vincent falls for Eva, but only a miracle - or fate - can bring them together. Then, Hitler’s troops cross the border and the enemy threatens to bomb the city on the Maas river if the Dutch army holds out.
