It is the year 1945 and the war is over. Viktor Chotovický, a lieutenant of the Czechoslovak foreign army until recently, arrives at the frontier village of Černý Potok as the state-appointed administrator of a confiscated farm. The saturnine and taciturn young man takes over part of the despoiled building - more reminiscent of a small manor - whose former owner, the active Nazi Heidenmann, is in jail waiting for trial. Sergeant Hejna assigns Adelheid, Heidenmann's daughter, to clean and cook for Viktor. Every day after work, Adelheid returns to join the other Germans waiting for expulsion. Viktor has a painful stomach illness and needs regular warm food. He thus asks if the girl could stay in the house overnight. The two shy people get nearer each other only with difficulty, further obstructed by the language barrier. Despite this, they spend a night together as lovers. The next morning Adelheid learns that her father was executed. The young woman locks herself in her room. Hejna warns Viktor against Adelheid's brother Hansgeorg, who was reportedly killed on the front, but has been spotted in the location. In the morning, Viktor finds Hejna, who spent the night on the farm, murdered. He himself is attacked by the young Nazi soon thereafter. Adelheid interferes in the fight and hits Viktor with an iron stick. Viktor is saved by Czech soldiers. Hansgeorg is killed and Adelheid is arrested. Although Viktor apologizes for her and defends her, the young woman faces a trial. Soon, Adelheid hangs herself.
