A group of landless Hungarian peasants accept work as migrant-laborers on a farm in northern Germany where the wages are good, and the wives and family are allowed to accompany them. Though it is in the midst of World War II, they are relatively well-off. However, they glimpse the treatment accorded to POWs and others who are not so gently treated, and at the conclusion of the year's harvest, they choose to return to Hungary and are quickly swept up in the tides of war. This film is part of a series of films by award-winning, well-respected director Zoltan Fabri who devoted much time and effort chronicling the struggle against fascism.

1943, dúl a II. világháború. Vendégmunkások kis csoportja megy ki Németországba, hogy a katonáskodó német parasztok helyett dolgozzon. A katonaságtól menekülő nincstelen emberek a meggazdagodás reményében robotolnak a német földeken, és nem akarnak tudomást venni a körülöttük történtekről: a birtokon fogolytábor üzemel, a földeken pedig hullákba botlanak.
