Twelve-year-old David escapes from a Communist concentration
camp with little more than a compass, a sealed letter, a loaf of bread, and instructions to carry the
letter to Copenhagen, Denmark. David is thrust into the free world for the first time as he travels across
Europe. His spiritual voyage of discovery, where David slowly loses his instinctive mistrust of humanity
and begins to smile, share, trust and ultimately, love, addresses the cruelties, politics, and suffering of
warfare while celebrating the unbreakable spirit of a child. [IMDB.com]
