Norway, 1942, during World War II. After being separated from her family, Esther, a young Jewish girl from Trondheim, arrives at an isolated farm where she must assume a new identity in order to survive the Nazi persecution.
Two 15-year-olds secretly meet up in the forest, only to witness a blood bath. They are seen, but escape trying to keep this as a secret, both in fear of the perpetrator and that their secret is revealed.
In a war-ridden and occupied Norway of the future, two young refugees steal an item of great importance from the occupiers. Pursuers ever on their tail, their story guides us through the magnificent Northern landscape, now tattered with the remnants of war and broken industry. On their journey they come across other people, all challenged in their humanity as they try to survive in a Norway that is no longer a land of plenty. The boys must balance brotherhood and ruthless pragmatism. Their childhood is already gone.
