It is based on the true story of the train transport that saved thousands of children from the Nazis – and the brave woman who helped them escape.

The Nazis are nothing more than a loud and disturbing element in the daily life of fifteen-year-old Stefan and his best friend Uwe Helen. But the quiet lives of the two young men were brutally crushed when the Nazis took power in Austria in 1938.
However, there is hope in the dark. Truss Weijsmüller, a member of the Dutch resistance movement, risks his life by smuggling Jewish children into neighboring countries. When Britain offers to take in refugee children from the German Empire, Gears fights a dramatic battle to get Jewish children out before it is too late. Will she have time to bring Stefan and Uffy to safety? Or are they forced to stay in Austria to face an uncertain future that threatens their lives?
