Berlin, 1941. In a makeshift basement gay bar, Heinrich and Otto have just strangled a Nazi officer. Shortly after hiding the body, guests arrive attempting to forget the destruction from last night’s air raids. Adding to the raw nerves in the room, Emile, Heinrich’s former lover, and his new interest, a young man, Horst, show up to share a drink and a bit of music with their friends. As the night unravels, the alcohol disappears and air raids resume, these men come to realize that their dark bar is no longer a refuge from the hateful world above and their demons have followed them below, unmasking enemies and facing the possibility of an unlikely escape.
