Description: The adored and sheltered son of a prominent Polish family, fifteen-year-old Krzys is coming of age during a period when the world around him is falling apart. The time is the moment just before the eruption of World War II, which will forever change all of their lives, but Krzys is only partly aware of what is happening inside him and around him. He lives in a world shrouded in silent cries and fleeting whispers - where he must catch what he can from the shadows.
