In Germany during World War II, three friends – Peter, Thomas and Arvid – just want to have a good time and dance to the then-massively popular “swing” music. They call themselves swing kids, and rebel against the Nazi leadership, sometimes fighting with members of its junior movement, the Hitler Youth. But the harsh realities of life will eventually intrude on their fun, and the trio will have to decide whether to keep fighting - and dancing - or to become Nazis themselves.
