In the midst of World War II, a young German officer named Stefan Brandt (Jai Courtney) is assigned to investigate a potential threat to the exiled Kaiser Wilhelm II (Christopher Plummer) at his secluded mansion in the Dutch countryside. As Brandt delves deeper into the case, he finds himself drawn into an unexpected and passionate romance with Mieke (Lily James), one of the Kaiser's maids. But their love affair is complicated by the fact that Mieke is Jewish, and Brandt must choose between his duty to the Nazi regime and his feelings for her. Meanwhile, tensions rise as Himmler (Eddie Marsan) and other high-ranking Nazi officials arrive at the mansion, putting everyone's lives in danger. With its intricate plot twists and high-stakes drama, The Exception is a gripping thriller that explores the complex moral choices faced by those caught up in history's deadliest conflict.
