Budapest, 1944. Hanna y Bora se reencuentran muchos años después de su doloroso divorcio. Jamás imaginaron que volverían a convivir en circunstancias tan extremas. Los nazis han ocupado la ciudad y cazan judíos. Bora, un aristocrático pintor y diplomático, refugia en el sótano de su casa a su ex mujer y a su actual marido, los dos judíos. Andris es el hombre con quien Hanna lo engañó. La trama se desarrolla en dos planos: el del subsuelo y el de la casa, donde Bora vive con Marga, su segunda esposa. Ambos mundos entrarán en un conflicto silencioso que modificará dramáticamente la vida de los personajes. Mientras Bora recibe la visita diaria de un oficial nazi que quiere ser retratado por el eximio artista, los cautivos encontrarán la salvación en el placer. El sexo será el vínculo más puro con la vida frente al acecho de la muerte. Budapest, 1944. Hanna and Bora reunite years after their painful divorce. They never imagined they would live under such extreme circumstances. The Nazis have occupied the city and hunt Jews. Bora, an aristocratic painter and diplomat, takes refuge in the basement of his house with his ex-wife and her current husband, both Jews. Andris is the man with whom Hanna cheated. The plot unfolds on two levels: the basement and the house where he lives with Marga Bora, his second wife. Both worlds will enter a silent conflict that dramatically change the lives of the characters. While Bora receives daily visits from a Nazi officer who wants to be portrayed by the eminent artist, the captives find salvation in pleasure. Sex is the purest link to life against the stalking of death.
