World War II, France, an American pilot hangs helplessly from his parachute tangled in a massive tree. Soon, he is discovered by a group of orphaned children forced to survive by primitive means. Separately, the pilot and the children fought for different causes in the same war. Now together, they will forge a connection that transcends language and their cause will become one.
