Varian Fry and American heiress Mary Jayne Gold, who assisted in the rescue efforts, find themselves hiding out in a French villa while helping people including Hannah Arendt, Max Ernst, Marcel Duchamp, and Marc Chagall.
Varian Fry, a man assigned to try and rescue artists and writers out of Nazi occupied France, is faced with an impossible moral conundrum: should he only save the 200 'extraordinary' people he was tasked with saving or ordinary people as well?
