When the German concentration camps were liberated at the end of World War II, children of the Holocaust were rehabilitated to other countries. Many of those who were ended up in the UK were sent to a camp in Windermere in the Lake District. This film is the stark, moving, ultimately redemptive story of the bonds these children make with one another, and of how the friendships forged at Windermere become a lifeline to a fruitful future.
