- Synopsis
- Suppose your country began to change. Suppose that without your noticing it became dangerous for some people to live in your country. That is what happens to 9-year-old Anna in 1933. Anna is not sure who Hitler is. But when her own father goes missing one day, she comes to realize that the man on the posters is about to change the whole of Europe – starting with her own small life. She is forced to leave her favorite stuffed pink rabbit behind and uproot her entire existence to move first to Switzerland and later to Paris. From now on Anna encounters life as a refugee, not speaking the language, not knowing customs and manners, missing her friends and loved ones. Finding a school is difficult, money is very short and her family encounters xenophobia, too. Yet Anna grows up, finds new friends, and learns to take responsibility.
