Sometimes your only weapon is the will to survive.

Based on a true story.

Taken from his home in Poland and forced to leave his country, 12 year old Adam and his family are transported to work in a labour camp in Russia.

Ill-fed and poorly treated, Adam doubts they will ever make it out alive. Even if they do get away, they might freeze to death, or starve. And there are bears in the forests....

For these Polish 'refugees', the whole of the USSR becomes a prison from which there is little chance of escape.
