Plot

Somewhere in a European country in its 1930-ies, 1940-ies, in a small town and its Peace Street, which suddenly becomes occupied by an unknown army on Christmas Eve: looking out of their windows, the street's inhabitants are faced with soldiers standing in front of their houses, keeping guard there. Additionally, a new official moves in as a new tenant into one of the houses. And while nothing worth noticing happens at first, after some weeks all inhabitants of Peace Street willing to enter their homes have to show their IDs before. In order to maintain peace, they better should cooperate, they are told by the authorities. While some few rebel (and shortly after vanish), the mayority obeys the instructions. The more that they are told by the commander, the soldiers will leave as soon as the snow melts, and normality will return soon... But meanwhile it's June, and the lake near the town is still covered with ice, on which the military and remaining inhabitants of Peace Street celebrate their annual midsummer party.
