Set in 1937, a remote hotel near Vienna serves as a refuge for those seeking to shed their Jewish identities in a time of rising danger. Guests participate in activities designed to help them assimilate as gentiles, unaware of the impending threats they face. As Hitler's influence grows, the illusion of safety and the possibility of retreat diminish. The narrative explores themes of identity and denial, offering a poignant and incisive portrayal of individuals grappling with their reality amidst a looming catastrophe.
