Five teenagers escape from a brutal warrior state to a neighboring island nation where freedom and respect for human values are reputed to reign. At first, the children are welcomed with open arms and given shelter and work, but it soon turns out that exploitation and evil are as rife here as back home. Instead of running off again, the children settle down to work for a better world in the here and now.

Det Danske Filminstitut registrerer international festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film,
dog primært de titler, som Filminstituttet varetager i sin festivaldistribution,
og primært i forbindelse med de festivaler, som Filminstituttet har prioriteret at samarbejde med.
Registreringen af festivaldeltagelse og priser til danske film, der ikke er i festivaldistribution,
foretages kun for "launch"-festivaler ifølge Filminstituttets prioriterede festivalliste. Se listen over prioriterede festivaler.
