The lives of five foreigners are brought together by the environment of an Austro-Hungarian prison. The reasons for their arrest are different, but they share the same goal of getting back to freedom. So they decide to escape together. However, escape alone does not constitute true freedom, as the group must deal with fear, differing opinions and, in many cases, their own moral convictions. Love, pain and loss cross their path. In the end, freedom does not just become their personal goal, they want to win it for the people, for their nation, for their children.
