What is the cost of survival?
During WWII, thousands of children were saved from the horror of the Holocaust by being evacuated to Britain via train - the Kindertransport. Evelyn, sending her child off to university in the 1980s, was once Eva, a frightened girl put on a train from Hamburg by her parents in 1938. Now, her memories awakened, Evelyn struggles to deal with the feelings she has suppressed since the Kindertransport saved her.
