Under Your Wing

*First option:
While in line to the gas chamber Adam (8) is drawn to Eva (7) by a butterfly, leaving him with “butterflies”. In full view of SS guards, Adam attempts to distract Eva from their mutual fate by any means possible. While all that interests Eva is to find out where they are going.

*Second option:
The looming gas chambers In Auschwitz-Birkenau threaten the innocent world of a little boy's first love and of a mother's desire to protect her young daughter.
