Determined to survive on his own until the end of the war, he quickly learns how to hunt and sleep safely with a ragtag group of other Jewish kids, but the winter chill and loneliness keep drawing him back to civilization. Helped by generous villagers, but betrayed by others to the Gestapo, Jurek strains to outlast against forces constantly threatening to destroy him – both nature and man alike.
