Martha Gillespie was pretty much, like all teenage girls. She had good friends, a wonderful family, and a talent for film-making. One day, Martha wanted to be the biggest, independent film-maker Europe had ever seen! But when her, and her loved ones get caught up in the perils of war, Martha's fate changes completely. Forced by the Nazi's to make a documentary, surrounding the Ghetto's conditions, Martha is made to travel in and out of the ghetto, and somehow, to find a way to make the frightful conditions of the Warsaw Ghetto look 'happy and healthy'. Thrown into one law-breaking task after the other, Martha has no idea how to pull herself out of the depths of war, alive. But can she, and the boy she's grown to love, swim or sink, together?
