Plot
Martin Friedmann grows up in a large Jewish family in the Slovak town of Bánovce nad Bebravou. His life is turned upside down with the outbreak of World War II, Slovakia's alignment with the Nazis, and the subsequent persecution of Jews. Motivated by a letter from a friend, he voluntarily goes to the labor camp in Sereď, where he manages to avoid being deported to a death camp due to his ability to play football. One day, he escapes the camp and returns to his hometown, only to discover that his family has been removed.
After returning to the camp, Martin catches pneumonia, and the doctor sends him to a sanatorium. In order not to have to return to the camp, he works as a laborer in a monastery.
With the end of the war approaching, Martin leaves the monastery, contacts the resistance in Poprad, and joins the partisans under the name Martin Petrášek. He actively participates in the Slovak National Uprising, during which he works in Zvolen. After the defeat of the rebellion, he and the other partisans take refuge in the mountains, where they fight and manage to hold out until the end of the war.
In the end, Martin returns to his birthplace, where he finds only memories and family heirlooms. The film concludes with footage of the real Martin Friedmann visiting Slovakia in the late 2000s, standing at the Danube waterfront in Bratislava.
