The film is based on a little-known historical episode, in which a Latvian family—Roberts and Johanna Seduli—hid 11 Jews in the basement of their apartment building in Liepāja during World War II, thereby saving their lives. It is a story of humanity and courage at a time when the reward for such acts could be death rather than medals. Gunta Gaidamaviča, journalist and editor of the LTV program "Kultūršoks," managed to capture the memories of several rescued Jews at the very last moment and also listen to the unique life story of the rescuers' family.
