The unpredictable obstacles in this race for freedom add to the existout hazards. The boys are separated, Pishta comes down with a fever and Latsi comes in contact with a Russian spy whose job it is to reclaim wayward refugees. With the help of a Swedish journalist in Austria., the spy is apprehended, the boys reunited and the long angerous journey completed. A timely topic employs tried and true techniques of story telling in this well thriller in the cloak and dagger vein.
