A heartfelt, spiritually-inflected wartime drama centered on a child's unwavering faith and love for his father, blending earnest sentiment with magical-realist whimsy.

An eight-year-old boy is willing to do whatever it takes to end World War II so he can bring his father home. The story reveals the indescribable love a father has for his little boy and the love a son has for his father.
