L'action du film se déroule entre septembre 1944 et janvier 1946. Dans l'est de la France, Nina tient ce qu'on appelle « une maison de l'espoir », ces maisons qui ont hébergé des jeunes juifs, pour la plupart orphelins. La fin de la guerre approche et on lui demande de s'occuper d'autres jeunes juifs rescapés du camp de Buchenwald. Ces enfants, qui ont vu les pires horreurs se dérouler devant leurs yeux se tournent vers une pratique religieuse plus intensive. Nina doit gérer et reconstruire ces vies brisées, tout en protégeant les enfants qui ont passé la guerre dans son orphelinat.
