The mesmerizing true feature film of a Jewish family that found haven with courageous Westphalian farmers during WW II. Based on the memories of Marga Spiegel, we discover how courageous farmers in southern Münsterland hid her, her husband Menne and their little daughter Karin from 1943 until 1945, thus saving them from deportation to the extermination camps in the East. The film tells this story of survival with a sense for the absurd in daily life and not without the typical Westphalian humour.  Without reservation, the farmers offer the refugees their protection. That this turns them into heroes would never occur to them. They are used to weathering even dangerous situations somehow, guided only by their instinct and century-old code of ethics. They risk their own lives, and, if necessary, even that of their families. There is never a discussion about friendship, reliability and humanity. Saviors in the Night is an uplifting and life-affirming story which honours these voiceless heroes.
