    In the snowy Giant Mountains at the end of the German occupation, a group of child heroes rescue a downed French pilot.

But the children play a highly risky game. They are confronted by deadly soldiers of the occupying army, they must outwit traitors and informers and, last but not least, survive in the harsh conditions of winter in the mountains.
