In the summer of 1939, three children catch a train to save their lives. they cross the english channel headed to London. the oldest one, Rosa, is sixteen years old, Josef is twelve and Sonia-Bella is ten. They never go back to Leipzig, Germany. This is a painful story of salvation which crosses Europe at war and pauses in a little village in the province of Reggio Emilia. In the end, nazi fascism did not triumph.
