The film is based on the authentic memories of Salomon Perel, born in 1925, who today lives in Israel under the name Sally Perel. We follow the odyssey of a young Jewish refugee from Poland. Caused by the confusions of war, he is first sent to a Russian orphan's home and then to a school for the Nazi elite. In an epilogue the true Salomon Perel is shown, who has emigrated to Palestine.
