Wilm Hosenfeld is known as the Nazi officer who saved "The Pianist" Wladyslaw Szpilman (played by Adrien Brody in the Academy Award-winning Roman Polanski film), but his German hometown from which he ran the local school and went to the war, still refuses to recognize him as a hero.

70 years after the end of the war, a group of residents demand to commemorate Hosenfeld in the local school and the reactions are stormy. In the meantime, Hosenfeld's grandchildren discover their grandfather's secret diaries in which he documented Nazi war crimes and they embark on a journey of discovery. During this journey, they discover that their grandfather was a serial savior and in addition to "The Pianist", another 60 people owe him their lives.
