Description
A small town stretching along a railway station is occupied by German troops.
All the men have gone to the front or to the partisans; only old people, women, and children remain in the town.
How do you live in an occupied town when the commandant’s office with the German command is right behind your fence?
How do you get a Christmas tree for Svetka—the partisan, if the Germans don’t let anyone out of the town?
How do you sneak into the cellar on enemy territory and find out what the occupiers have in store?
How do you save a schoolteacher from death when she has stolen valuable information from the commandant’s office?
…This story is about how one accidental promise led to a chain of events upon which people’s lives depended.
Events in which, along with adults, two ordinary boys—close friends—also took part.
