The play explores the relationship between Elena, a young Jewish fugitive who escaped the Warsaw ghetto, and Magda, a deeply religious Catholic woman. Their relationship begins when Elena’s lover, a Polish policeman, arranges for Elena to hide in Magda’s apartment. As the situation around them worsens, the relationship between the two women deepens. In a final act of sacrifice, Magda offers Elena her baby, which she hopes will save Elena’s life.
