Secret Delivery is adapted from Jiří Stránský’s semi-autobiographical novella, based on real events. The story unfolds in the snow-covered Krkonoše mountains during the final weeks of WWII. When a group of children discovers a downed French pilot, they secretly transport him from village to village—passing him along like a whispered message in a game of “telephone”—while evading German soldiers, local collaborators, and the brutal winter. |
