Vilis, a scholar of Asian studies in his fifties, is trapped in a mysterious lift-like structure. When he realises that he no longer knows who he is, an intercom instructs him to leave through the red door and find the green door outside. Beyond the red door lies Vilnius, confined by the 2020 pandemic lockdown. There, Vilis encounters his wife and three adult children, yet feels like a stranger among them. As he searches for the green door, his family begins to fall apart.

In 1942, in Vilna, the Nazi annihilate 55,000 Jews and squeeze the 15,000 survivors in a seven blocks ghetto. The twenty-two year old sadistic commander Kittel is assigned to administrate the ghetto in the capital of Lithuania, becoming the master of life or death. When he finds the gorgeous Hayyah sneaking with one kilo of beam stolen from the German army, he sentences her to death; but when he is informed that she was a former successful singer, he decides to activate the old theater and promote shows in the ghetto. The Jew Chief of Police Gens uses the theater and a sewing factory to save as much lives as he can; in his ambiguous position, he kills Jews to save lives of others.
