During the Second World War, the inhabitants of Guernsey, one of the Channel Islands, try to cope with the German occupation.

A group of prisoners are performing forced labor for the Nazis when their position is hit by an Allied bombing raid. A few of the men find shelter in a supply building, but it collapses under the shelling, trapping them inside. Finding themselves surrounded with food and wine, Frenchman Rouquet (Peter Sellers), Italian Visconti (Charles Aznavour), Swede Lund (Per Oscarsson) and the others optimistically wait for rescue. But the hours turn into days, then weeks, then years.

Free-spirited writer Juliet Ashton forms a life-changing bond with the delightful and eccentric Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, when she decides to write about the book club they formed during the occupation of Guernsey in WWII.
