Austria, 1940s: Yugoslavian Nico Antonov is imprisoned in the Mauthausen concentration camp. When fate brings him into contact with Lena Lang, he finds an ally. SS officers have charged photographer Mateo Baca with recording the events of Mauthausen and making copies of the photo book for the Third Reich's leaders. But Mateo also creates one to be smuggled out of the camp, where Nico entrusts Lena to hide it. Australia, 1980s to present day. When Hannah Campbell discovers her grandfather Nico's mysterious photo album, filled with horrific visions of suffering and cruelty, she comes to understand how the photos reflect a shared humanity that must never be forgotten.
