In their late teens, Moshe, an ultra-orthodox Jew and Eva, traditionally Jewish, flee the Nazis in Wloclawek, Poland, dodging death in the Bialowiez¿a forest, seeking refuge in Russia.

They successfully adjust to life in Australia, a country they love, but ultimately they experience more than they reckoned for.
