Moni and Giogio meet Shelly (17) and face the values and limits of friendship, as they both fall in love with her, while outside rages their conflicted world. The Bulgarians are ordered to deport the Jews; trains traverse Bulgaria with 11,343 Jews from Macedonia and Thrace. The fate of the three youngsters mirrors the lives of the Balkan Jews during WWII, challenged with the horrors of that period. Sponsored by Sue Heyman and Mike White. Phyllis Tauber – committee member.
