April 1945. Mens krigens sidste krampetrækninger sønderriver Nazityskland, venter tusinder af danske fanger i kz-lejren Neuengamme på Folke Bernadottes hvide busser. Den unge Dagmar Valgreen har meldt sig til missionen for at redde én enkelt af dem: Den mand der opfyldte alle hendes drømme indtil han forsvandt. Men de mennesker som Dagmar møder undervejs, om bord på bus fire-syv-fire, i kz-lejren syd for Hamburg og i det udbombede Tyskland, ændrer gradvis hendes syn på verden og på hendes eget liv.
