When Morrie moved in next door to Hilde in 1936 they became best friends. They are just five years old. But this is Nazi Germany and the law decrees they cannot remain friends because he is Jewish and she is the daughter of a Nazi policeman. For a short time music and culture opens up a new world for Hilde. But it cannot last. Her loving grandparents take in the children and gift them a pet budgerigar.

In Leipzig intimidation and unrest becomes rife and their families are scattered. War breaks out and Morrie and Hilde must part. They do not know where the other one is or if they will ever meet up again. Will any of the family members return home or will they all become victims of the horrors of war? The love of music and the little budgerigar offers us hope for the future.
