Summary |
During World War II, more than 70,000 Finnish children were evacuated to neutral Sweden to avoid the conflict. 9-year-old Eero increasingly feels abandoned by his biological Finnish mother and not yet attached to his Swedish surrogate mom. When Eero is returned to Finland, his confusion intensifies. |
