Teprve čtrnáctiletá Elżbieta Rabineková žije pod bedlivým dozorem adoptivních rodičů v domě blízko varšavského židovského ghetta. Nemá ráda Němce, protože pořád vymýšlejí nová nařízení a neustále hlídkují v ulicích města. Ale o tom, co se děje za zdmi ghetta, nikdy příliš nepřemýšlela. Vše se změní ve chvíli, kdy se spřátelí s mladou zdravotní sestrou Sarou. Ta pašuje z ghetta malé děti a pomáhá jim najít náhradní rodiny. Elżbieta je rozhodnutá téměř okamžitě – chce Saře pomáhat. Díky svému hrdinnému rozhodnutí potkává židovského mladíka Romana, který má dva malé sourozence. Má jejich láska vůbec šanci, nebo je rovnou odkázána do záhuby?

In the spring of 1942, young Elzbieta Rabinek is aware of the swiftly growing discord just beyond the courtyard of her comfortable Warsaw home. She has no fondness for the Germans who patrol her streets and impose their curfews, but has never given much thought to what goes on behind the walls that contain her Jewish neighbors. She knows all too well about German brutality, and that they're the reason she must conceal her real identity. But in befriending Sara, a nurse who shares her apartment floor, Elzbieta makes a discovery that propels her into a dangerous world of deception and heroism. Using Sara's credentials to smuggle children out of the ghetto brings Elzbieta face-to-face with the reality of the war behind its walls and to the plight of the Gorka family, who must make the impossible decision to give up their newborn daughter or watch her starve. For Roman Gorka, this final injustice stirs him to rebellion with a zeal not even his newfound love for Elzbieta can suppress
