Saide is a caregiver at an orphanage for Tatar orphans. She is approached for help by a boy, Yitzhak, who, along with other Jewish children, is hiding from the Nazis. The girl has a difficult moral dilemma – to help the children or, in saving their own lives, to refuse them? Despite the deadly threat, the girl takes care of the dangerous pupils and turns the little Jews into Tatars – giving them new names, teaching languages, customs and prayers. But will they be able to deceive the punishers and escape from death? ..

The film is based on real events.
