In 1942 Norway, Esther (Sarah-Sofi e Boussnina), a 14-year-old Jewish girl has her
        world torn apart when the Nazis unleash their reign of terror on her small town,
        forcing her parents to hide her on a truck headed for Sweden, hopefully to safety.
        Esther’s truck is attacked by Nazis and she barely escapes into the forest, where
        she meets a boy her age, Aksel (Arthur Hakalahti). Aksel takes a liking to her and
        suggests hiding her in his family’s barn. To save her from being discovered by the
        Nazis, she disguises herself as a boy.
        Every day is a challenge to keep her true identity a secret while she plans a harrowing
        escape with Aksel through Nazi occupied territory to Sweden, hoping beyond hope
        that her parents are alive and waiting for her.
