Rate this:
The remarkable true story of Max, a Jewish boy escaping Nazi persecution in Eastern Europe. After he is separated from his family, Max finds refuge with Christian peasant Jasko, who hides him in plain sight until a tense standoff with Nazi police. Afraid for his own family's life, Jasko sends Max to live in the woods, where he learns to survive alone. With echoes of a Grimms' fairy tale, Max's experience is both terrifying and magical. He inhabits a landscape crawling with Nazis and partisans and haunted by ghosts.
