- A twelve-year-old boy escapes from a Bulgarian Communist concentration camp and sets out on a journey to reach Denmark.
- 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.—Anonymous
- In 1952, twelve-year-old David (Ben Tibber), who was raised in the Communist Belene Prison Camp in Bulgaria, witnesses the death of his friend and protector Johannes (Jim Caviezel) and escapes from the concentration camp in the night. He is advised to mistrust everybody, and together with a piece of bread, a compass, a piece of soap, a jackknife, and a sealed envelope to be delivered in Denmark, he travels though Greece and Italy heading north. Along his journey, David discovers the beauty of the world and slowly he changes his behavior towards people. When he meets Sophie (Dame Joan Plowright), an old lady that lives in Switzerland and likes to paint as a hobby, she asks David to paint his face. Later she invites David to have lunch with her in her house, and David finally discloses his quest to her.—Claudio Carvalho, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
