Germany, 1941. Noemi and Pascal grew up fearless and inseparable, exploring the wild mountains of the Bavarian countryside together. But as the dark shadow of the Third Reich falls over their small village, their peaceful life disappears. Overnight, their bond becomes a dangerous crime—Noemi is Jewish, and Pascal’s father is a powerful man pressuring his son to become an officer in the Hitler Youth.
When the local community turns silent, and Noemi’s parents are captured and torn away to Dachau, she realizes her hometown is no longer safe. With time running out and danger closing in, Pascal risks everything to smuggle her onto a train, praying she can hide unnoticed until the war ends. Before parting, he presses his mother’s silver locket into her hands and vows to find her again.
