It’s World War II, and Denmark is occupied by German armed forces. Exasperated
by the pacifist complacency of daily life under the Government’s co-operative
agreement with the Germans, Danes are distancing themselves from the official
stance. A nation-wide grassroots’ revolt is breaking out. By August 1943,
insurrection against the German occupation flares into lawlessness and
sabotage. In the provincial town of Odense, the Niemann family run a
prosperous fashion house and factory that has always traded with Germany. As
the insurgency builds, vigilantes hunt down collaborators and ‘terrain
mattresses’: women who befriend Germans. When 17-yearold Maia Niemann`s secret
infatuation with a German officer is revealed, there are disastrous
ramifications. Overnight, she becomes the target of Danish patriotic zealots,
and is forced to flee the town. Maia moves in with her Aunt Mille in
Copenhagen, where she hopes to pursue her dreams of becoming a top fashion
designer. But her aunt has secrets of her own; not least, her involvement in
the resistance movement. Summer in Copenhagen heats up in more ways than one,
until Maia is faced with the biggest dilemma of her life. The choices she is
forced to make will bring drastic consequences.
