Táto séria sa ponorí do hlbokých rán spôsobených vojnovými konfliktmi a ich dopadu na nevinné životy, najmä na deti. Sledujeme cesty mladých hrdinov, ktorí sa snažia prekonať nepredstaviteľné tragédie, ako je strata končatín alebo blízkych, a znovu nájsť zmysel života. Príbehy sú surové, dojemné a ukazujú neuveriteľnú silu ľudského ducha tvárou v tvár extrémneho utrpenia. Je to skúmanie odolnosti a nádeje v tých najtemnejších časoch.
