When the Gestapo arrive to arrest Magda’s kind, Jewish employers, she has only moments to save their newborn son Samuel.
All Magda had hoped for was to duck down, get through these dark days of the occupation. To live. To survive. And return home. But when the Nazis rip away the one precious thing Magda loves more than anything, can she find the courage to lift her head high and defy them? After all, not all battles are fought by soldiers…
