Italy, 1940. Lili Passigli's studies in Ferrara abruptly end when Mussolini's Racial Laws mark her as Jewish and 'inferior'. With Fascist propaganda spreading and hatred staining the city, the world around Lili darkens further with Germany's invasion of northern Italy. Stranded in Nazi-occupied territory, Lili and her best friend Esti, along with Esti's young son, must flee south with the help of the Resistance. On this trek through the war-ravaged country, they face untold challenges and devastating decisions as they fight to reach the Allies and freedom.
