1943. Oscar is a young Jewish musician who, thanks to his talent, gains the simpathy of the community in which he lives in mandatory residence, because of the Italian race laws. He makes friends with the podest's kids, Emma and Vittorio, and joins the village band conducted by the priest Don Franco.
After 8th September and the Nazi occupation of Italy, Oscar and his family are forced to flee to escape persecution. Thanks to Emma and Don Franco they will be able to get in contact with an organization of Partisans, who will help them to reach the salvation in Switzerland, which was a neutral country during the war.
The film is freely inspired by the Italian experience of the Austrian jazz musician Oscar Klein, who could avoid deportation to concentration camps thanks to a partisan organization, whose leader was Rinaldo Arnaldi, one of the Righteous among the nations.
