Twenty-one-year-old Cioma has the misfortune of being a Jewish person in Berlin in the 1940s. Since the best hiding places are often in plain sight, Cioma decides to step into the light to escape detection. Using the forged identity of a marine officer he created, he throws himself into the city’s nightlife and along the way, finds a fragile hope for love. During the day, he forges IDs – and saves the lives of many. His talent puts him in more and more danger, however, and at some point, his only hope is a last forged ID – with his own name on it.
