Despite the danger, they open their doors to those seeking refuge, including a young Jewish man named Sam. When their home is invaded by German soldiers, they are forced to evacuate and leave everything behind. Rika, Waldemar, and their son Waldy are eventually arrested and separated, with Waldy being sent to live with a foster family.
