In May of 1940 a German gypsy mother gets murdered by Nazis, leaving her four year old, son Günther to fend for himself. He is now a lone street rat. He founds himself a cold alley to sleep in. He stays there one night. The war has started and Günther fears he may die. Wilhelm is a twelve year old boy who lives in a mansion near the alley Günther sleeps in. He sees Günther sleeping one morning on his way to school. Even though Germany is going through a rough patch and almost everyone is broke, Wilhelm's father is in the army and his mother is a seamstress. They are quite wealthy. And with Hitler coming into power Wilhelm's​ father isn't around much anymore. The day after Günther's mother died was the first day he met Wilhelm and that day changed both of their lives forever.
