When Sofia finds out that a transport plane, the pilot of which is her son, was shot down, she sets off for the front line. Her journey is full of dangers. She does not know whether her son or any other member of the crew survived. She has no friends there in the unfamiliar territory, no helpers, no clear plan. But it is her will and love that help her to find people who begin to sympathize, and thereby change themselves. A dangerous journey turns her from the mother of one pilot into the mother of all who need to be saved, even those whom she considered an enemy.
