Berlin 1936. Hitler will soon host the Olympics, and the streets are being "cleansed" of Jews and Roma "Gypsies". Inside a dying Weimar Kabarett club, seven-year-old Roma Helene hides in a wardrobe, concealed by tap-dancer Katharina who plans to escape the poison of Nazism and take Helene to America – where everyone is welcome, no matter the colour of their skin. But Helene won't rest. Sneaking about unseen, the little mouse sees everything – a dancing devil, a nervous stage-manager, an alcoholic "new age Nazi" comedian. And the arrival of awkward Nazi conscript, Otto. Finding his feet as a newly-empowered thug, he clumsily makes a pass at Katharina, but greater jeopardy awaits as he discovers the little mouse. Only the child's ingenuity and talent will save her now...
