What must happen for an ordinary Russian family of engineers with children to become refugees overnight, seeking protection in a German camp? What does the escape of a deserter who dares to flee the front look like? What evidence of what he has witnessed and endured does he carry with him? And what can never be forgotten? The story of our protagonist is a mirror of the fates of thousands of similar fugitives. War crimes, lives shattered by war, and the struggle for the right to asylum.
