In the chaos of the post-war era, a Czechoslovak boy of just seven years, separated from his family, ventures through a heartbreaking landscape in search of a home that no longer exists. After being liberated from a concentration camp, the little one embarks on an emotional journey filled with fear and hope, as he traverses a Europe devastated by conflict.
Throughout his odyssey, the boy encounters various characters who, bearing their own emotional scars, cross his path. One of them is an American man who works as a volunteer in an orphanage. At first, the adult struggles to connect with the boy, but gradually he realizes it is his responsibility to help him overcome his trauma and find his mother. The bond between them grows as they face together the hardships and losses that the war has left in its wake.
As the boy continues to seek answers and the adult grapples with his own pain from the war, the story becomes a moving reflection on loss, redemption, and the unbreakable strength of familial love. The journey transforms into a testament to human resilience in a world that has lost its most sacred ties, where hope becomes the only beacon guiding those lost in search of their identity and place in the world.
