Ten-year-old Emil is living in a time of war. His brother is away, serving in the military as he lives in poverty with his sick mother. In a fit of rage, he accidentally causes something terrible to happen, something he is unable to reverse. Panicked, he flees from the rural village that he had called home for as long as he could remember. Now, on the run from his mistakes, Emil turns to whatever help he can find even if it may conflict with his morals. But as he matures, Emil finds his once-thought safe haven forcing him to decide between safety and freedom. What will he choose?
