Galicia, 1939. Confusion and terror reign.
Constant battles between the various occupiers of Ukraine kept the people of the Lviv area unnerved. One young boy from nearby Halych watches the turmoil and tries to understand. He wants to grab hold of his future and the hope for his family and countrymen. An untold story about the plight of Ukrainians from a child's perspective, this is a tale of strength gained not by fighting a war but by uniting as a people and remaining respectful of culture, religion, and freedom.
