In a small German village, a young man named Siggi grapples with the weight of his father's legacy and the moral dilemmas of his time. As he struggles to write an essay about the joys of duty, he recalls his father's role in enforcing the Nazi regime's oppressive laws and his own decision to rebel against that authority. Against the backdrop of the post-war period, Siggi's story raises questions about individual conscience, morality, and the complexities of duty.
