“When the Warsaw Uprising started in 1944, thousands of children lived in the city. Here are the stories of those who survived.” Hybrid documentary by Tomas Stankiewicz tells a story of a heroic and tragic 63-day struggle to liberate Warsaw from Nazi German occupation during World War II from a perspective of children. A group of kids finds a diary from the Warsaw Uprising. Trying to find its former owner, they go to the Museum of Warsaw Uprising. Thanks to the magic of the diary, they meet their agemates from 1944 who survived the complete destruction of their city and the Nazis’ slaughter of its inhabitants.
