Three smart but spoiled upper-class English girls take a trip to visit the sons of family friends in the mountain village of Emmerspitz. They hope to recreate the fun they had during the boys' visit to Britain two years earlier, but now it's 1938, and Austria has just become absorbed into Hitler's Greater Germany. What seems at first a vaguely military aspect to the town soon reveals itself to be rule by Nazis. Abruptly awakening to their danger, the young women try to make the most of their stay before returning to home and school, but they uncover some ugly secrets the townspeople are trying to hide. And the mountain itself hides the largest secret of all.
