Separated from his parents when they’re deported by the Nazis, David struggles to survive, hungry and alone. Picked up by the police, he escapes into the chaos of occupied Warsaw. Quickly, he learns to smuggle precious goods from one area of the city to another, dodging the police and the German soldiers to earn enough for a crust of bread.
Homeless and weakened by months of hardship, the days of running and hiding are coming to an end. The soldiers are brutally clearing the ghetto…
Can he outwit them just one more time?
Based on true accounts and diaries of children in the Second World War.
