Tom and Joe have been together for years. And to some extent, have been together alone. You Are My Sunshine charts their humble beginnings in a world only just waking up to homosexuality, to present day, and a world facing their elder selves. As present day brings further conflict as well as the potential change in the air, Tom and Joe's story will be shown from its first monumental day all the way to its loving last.

1943年6月29日，在一个封闭的牢房里，年轻的纳粹警卫Alexander正等待着他负责看管的新囚犯，直到他被处决。他的囚犯是荷兰抵抗运动的战士Willem，他因炸毁一栋保存有纳粹对荷兰犹太公民的记录的建筑，以试图反抗日益崛起的法西斯主义而被定罪。Willem也是一个公开的同性恋者，在那个时代，人们因为这种生活方式而受到迫害。当Willem和Alexander单独坐在牢房里时，前者试图与Alexander进行交谈，后者最初保持沉默。但在关押的三天时间里，他们不仅开始交谈，而且开始对彼此产生了深刻的情感影响。
当你只剩下希望的时候，那就看着它如何改变世界。
