A harrowing, introspective portrait of two boys' flight from genocide, anchored in the struggle to maintain humanity amid systematic dehumanization.

Two Jewish boys escape from a train transporting them from one concentration camp to another. Beyond themes of war and anti-Nazism, the film concerns itself with man's struggle to preserve human dignity.
