Synopsis
Based on the book by Michael Morpurgo, the movie takes place during World War II where a boy named Jo learns that children are being smuggled out of Nazi-occupied France to the safety of Spain. When German soldiers move into town, things become even more dangerous for those involved. Jo and his grandfather Henri devise a plan with the help of Benjamin and the widow Horcada, to stage one last daring effort to get all of the children across the border to safety.
