It is 1942. The theatres of war are North Africa and Italy. All
eyes follow the front, but behind the scenes a messier war
continues, an improvised game of snatched triumphs, terrible
mistakes and terrifying uncertainty. Cabaret singer by night, spy
by day, Richard risks his life to help British servicemen escape
occupied France and get back to England. Rose leads a group of
dancers with mixed morals high-kicking to entertain the troops as
Hitler's bombers roar in the skies above. Then she is given orders
to join the forces in the field, destination unknown. Meanwhile a
phantom pianist, who has lost the love of his life, is following
Montys soldiers across the African desert, mocking the enemies guns
by playing Beethoven between the lines.
