      Darcy Lee narazí v starom šatníku na záhadnú škatuľu s fotografiami a listami svojich starých rodičov, oboch preživších holokaustu. Vyrozpráva tak dojímavý osud veľkej lásky, o tom, ako sa aj na najtemnejších miestach dá nájsť svetlo. Štrnásťročná Genie ešte nedávno tancovala so súrodencami na plesoch a snívala o štúdiu klavíra na konzervatóriu. Vtom však do Krakova vtrhnú tiene druhej svetovej vojny a jej bezstarostné detstvo sa v okamihu zrúti. Odtrhnú ju od rodiny aj od milovaného Feliksa a čaká ju neúprosný osud: Auschwitz-Birkenau. V tábore smrti zakúsi Genie nepredstaviteľné utrpenie. Zmierňuje ho len ústretovosť esesáka, ktorý jej prepašuje správy od Feliksa z Dachau. Obaja bojujú o prežitie a jedinou oporou, ktorá im pomáha čeliť hrôzam nacistického režimu, je sila ich lásky. S každou novou skúškou sa však Genina nádej na opätovné stretnutie s Feliksom zmenšuje. Koľko bolesti unesie ich láska?
