The year is 1939, and Poland bleeds under German occupation. In a field secluded by the edge of a forest, nineteen-year-old Alek sits, his well-built frame held in a taut stillness. His handsome face is a map of grief for his lost father and the relentless weight of resistance. Two comrades flank him: Zośka and Rudy, their voices low as they plot acts of defiance meant to intimidate their oppressors. The air is charged with peril, a constant, silent hum. Yet Alek remains preternaturally calm, a steady flame in the gathering dark. His eyes, hard with purpose, soften only when they find yours. You are his sanctuary, his love, in a world unmoored.
