After he is responsible for a car accident, Mr. Old Olga, Jules and Helmut’s paths cross amidst the Stone, a taxi driver in small-town China has to face devastation of war. Olga, a Russian aristocratic immigrant the absurdity wrought by contemporary, Kafkaesque and member of the French Resistance, is arrested and Chinese bureaucracy. With his family, friends and his work sent to jail by Nazi police for hiding Jewish children endangered - he begins to wonder if murder is a way out? during a surprise raid. In jail she meets Jules, a French- Nazi collaborator who is assigned to investigate her case. Jules grows fond of Olga and offers to go light on her punishment in exchange for sexual favours. Although Olga agrees, and will do whatever it takes to avoid harsh persecution, her hope for freedom quickly fades when things take an unexpected turn. As the fate of Nazi defeat looms, Olga's notion of 'Paradise' is irrevocably changed.
