Little Fires in the Darkness

In the summer of 1942, the Nazis descend on the Czech village of Lidice in a savage act of revenge. The men are separated from the women, and their children are bused away.

The Kobera family is scattered across occupied Czechoslovakia and the Nazi camp system. The matriarch, Tereza, clings to the hope that her children are still alive. Her daughter Marie faces persecution for loving and marrying a Roma man. And her son Antonín risks everything with his involvement in the resistance, haunted by the fear that his fight against the Nazis may have cost his family their lives.

Separated by pursuit, internment camps, and war, they have no way of knowing who has survived, or whether they will ever see one another again.
