Synopsis:
A boy, Tako, after his father was killed in the WW II, imagines his parent, whom he has never really met. So, the boy convinces himself of his father’s immense courage. In 1956 he falls in love with a Jewish girl, Anna, and learns about the horrors of Holocaust and suffering of the Jewish people. That encourages him to find out the truth about his father: was he really the hero he always imagined him to be.
