A tale of defiance during the age of torment that was World War II. Following the arrival of a stolen Wehrmacht truck outside St Anne’s church in the Southern Polish hamlet of Olesno, it thrusts young priest Father Nikolas Kolbe into the newly vacated role of guardian to the six malnourished children hiding beneath the vehicle’s bullet riddled canvass. Ignoring his monsignor’s pragmatic, if indeed cowardly pleas to inform the German authorities of the refugees, Nikolas instead commences upon a voyage destined to cross a nation of decimated cities, deserted villages and five-hundred straight kilometres of abandoned countryside. Journeying for the coastal town of Sopot and the Swedish trawler promised to be awaiting their arrival in its dark waters, Nikolas not only pledges to give all that he has, but also to abandon all that he is, to protect those persecuted children by any unholy means.
