Rudolf Höss je komandant v nemški vojski v drugi svetovni vojni. Skupaj z ženo Hedwig in otroki živi v idilični hiši, od katere je neokrnjena narava le korak oddaljena. To je popolno okolje za vzgojo otrok: tam se lahko v miru igrajo, medtem ko mati skrbi za vrt, ob koncu dneva pa se družina zbere pri večerji. Nekaj je pri Hössovih vendarle drugače. Njihovo posestvo meji na koncentracijsko taborišče Auschwitz. A to družine prav nič ne moti pri vsakodnevnih opravilih. Občasni streli, kriki in prah, ki ga prinese iz dimnikov, so samo bežna motnja v ozadju, ob kateri nihče ne trene z očesom.
Film pripoveduje malo znano zgodbo o Alanu Turingu, genialnem matematiku, ki ga je britanska vojska med drugo svetovno vojno najela, da bi razvozlal sporočila nemškega šifrirnega stroja Enigma. Turing se je s pisano druščino strokovnjakov podal v napeto bitko s časom, a uspeh, ki ga je nazadnje dosegel, je moral ostati strogo varovana državna skrivnost.

Leta 1952 so Turinga aretirali in obsodili zaradi homoseksualnosti. Dve leti kasneje je naredil samomor.
