Synopsis
8-year-old Eda is a long-desired and anxiously protected child of parents who had already previously lost a baby. Eda is therefore a replacement child; he even bears the same name. After his father rejects affiliation with the Nazi invaders of Czechoslovakia in 1939, the family has to flee Prague into concealment at the home of relatives in the countryside. The war provides the mysterious adventures to Eda whose child’s eyes cannot perceive the danger of those difficult times. To him life now feels strange but beautiful.
