Lem recalls his childhood: how he lost his parents and ended up after the end of the Second World War in an orphanage, where iron discipline reigned. The director of the shelter, Ariton, constantly tried to pit the orphans with each other, considering them to be the enemies of the new government, and forced them to follow the new ideology. Together with a charismatic friend, Isak Lem becomes one of those children who gives resistance to Ariton without losing self-esteem.
