Nine years before, Jesse and Céline had met and had a brief encounter in Vienna. Jesse's new novel, This Time, was inspired by that night, and becomes a bestseller. He does a book tour in Europe, including Paris. He does a reading at the noted bookstore, Shakespeare and Company. Flashbacks express elements of his time with Céline in Vienna. Three journalists attend the reading to interview Jesse: one is convinced the book's main characters meet again, another that they do not, and a third who wants them to but is doubtful that will occur. As Jesse speaks with the audience, his eyes wander and he sees Céline there, smiling at him.

D'autres jeunes allemands font aussi partie de ce groupe révolté contre la Gestapo. Ils sont également aidés par un prisonnier rescapé, Hans Steinbrück, qui est littéralement opposé aux nazis. Un jour, la Gestapo arrête les opposants des nazis, et le groupe de Karl et Peter est menacé. Quand ils sont arrêtés, Karl est déchiré entre la volonté de survivre, le sens des responsabilités, l'amour pour son frère et la fidélité au groupe de l'Edelweiss. Il se retrouve donc confronté à la situation suivante : survivre et sauver son frère des mains de la Gestapo en trahissant son groupe ou mourir en faisant honneur à l'Edelweiss ?
