Misha, an 8 year-old Jewish girl, is looking for her parents captured by the Nazis. All she knows is that she has to go East to find them. Armed with a small compass, Misha embarks in an odyssey from her native Belgium to Ukraine walking through the forests of Germany and Poland with a pack of wolves that "adopted her".
To survive she has to steal and hunt with the wolves. Misha's animal instincts save her from the traps the Nazi soldiers use to catch the runaways.
