After a particularly violent storm, Ursula (Dench) and Janet (Smith) Widington awake one day to find young man half-drowned and badly injured on the beach. They slowly discover that Andrea (Brühl) is a Polish Jew with a gift for music as an well known violinist, hoping to find his way to the United States.
