In the winter of 1943, Andorra, a secluded country in the Pyrenees, struggles to maintain neutrality amidst the escalating war. Antonio and Sara, a young couple expecting their first child, try to survive in the tense borderland, unaware of the conflict's details.

Sara confronts her own moral compass as long-buried secrets threaten to surface, forcing everyone to confront the harsh realities of the time.
