Jura, Switzerland, 1943. Fifteen-year-old Emma lives under the strict rules of her village, never questioning her own desires or the war raging across Europe. Encouraged by the village pastor, Emma dreams of becoming a nurse and winning the local virtue prize to finance her schooling. However, her life is turned upside down after meeting an arrogant city dweller who abuses her. Emma gradually uncovers the hypocrisy of her upbringing and the pervasive social violence around her. No matter the cost, the young woman is determined to shape her own future.
