Synopsis: The adventurous family film takes place in the snowy Giant Mountains, Czechia, towards the end of the Nazi occupation. A group of child heroes rescues a downed French pilot. Their actions resemble the “telephone game” – the pilot is passed between mountain villages like a secret message – a covert schoolyard delivery. This thrilling, visually striking story, adapted from a novella by writer and two-time political prisoner Jiří Stránský, is inspired by real events.
