Francuska, 1940: progonjeni od nacista, njemački novinar i kritičar režima Ludwig i njegov dvanaestogodišnji sin Rolf ostaju zaglavljeni u Marseillesu. Cilj im je otići u New York gdje ih Rolfova majka već dugo čeka. Njihova zajednička igra pogađanja – "dobar ili loš, disident ili kolaborator?" – ubrzo postaje smrtno ozbiljna jer sve češće se susreću sa policijskim inspektorima i nacističkim zvaničnicima u okupiranoj Evropi. Do slobode mogu stići samo tako što će preći opasan put koji preko Pirineja spaja južnu Francusku sa Španijom. Djevojčica Núria, koja je samo malo starija od Rolfa, ponudi se da im bude vodič na tom opasnom putu. Kada Ludwig biva zarobljen tokom puta, Rolf i Núria iznenada ostaju sami. Njihov jedini pratilac na putu koji ih uči da se, ako žele preživjeti, moraju držati zajedno i oslanjati jedno na drugo, je Rolfov pas Adi.
France in 1940: persecuted by the Nazis, the critical German journalist Ludwig and his 12-year-old son Rolf are stranded in Marseilles. Their goal is to travel to New York where Rolf’s mother has been waiting for them now for far too long. Their guessing game of "Good or Bad? – Dissident or Collaborator?” soon turns deadly serious when they increasingly have to face inspectors and officials in Nazi-controlled Europe. The only way to freedom is a steep path leading from Southern France through the Pyrenees to Spain. Nuria, a girl, only slightly older than Rolf, offers to guide them along the hazardous path. When the father gets caught en route, Rolf and Núria are suddenly all on their own. Rolf's dog Adi is then the only companion on a path that teaches the two children to stick together and to rely on one another – if they want to survive.
