It is this man, who takes on 13-year-old Emilka, a Czech girl destined for "re-education"; through her eyes, we then see the imposed family, the complex formation of relationships with a man who tries to treat her kindly. The little girl goes through a painful discovery of true reality. During her stay in Germany, she tries not to forget her real home and believes that she will meet her mother once more in her life and return. Written by EuroFan See less
