Title: Flora and Grace
Description: 1944: On a beautiful spring morning in Switzerland, teenager Flora Knox sees a cattle train pulling a fleet of slatted trucks. Flora runs to the train as it slowly clatters through the station, and as she does so, a filthy bundle of rags is pushed out into her arms. Through the slats of the carriage, she hears a woman's voice whisper: 'Take him. His name is Simon.' As the train disappears, Flora is left holding a tiny baby boy. Everything looks just the same as it did moments before - the sun, the sky, the station - but nothing will ever be the same again.
