Synopsis
It is the year 1946. Many children who have lost their parents must fight for their survival in East Prussia. 14-year-old Hans is one of them. Together with his brother, he plans to go to Lithuania. There, it is said that farmers are still willing to take in German children. In the wilderness, on their way to Lithuania, Hans and Karl get separated. From then on, Hans must fight against hunger, disease, and ultimately for his own survival in the foreign land.
