The Rules of Perspective

In April 1945, as a shell from the advancing American army tears through the roof of the Kaiser Wilhelm Museum in the town of Lohenfelde, acting museum director Heinrich Hoffer and three of his colleagues seek refuge from the artillery bombardment in the museum's vaults, while aboveground, an American soldier, Neal Parry, picks through the building's rubble.
