On a winter morning, a mother goes to waken her son Heinrich; his bed is empty. She leaves her flat to find him. The neighbors' door, with a Star of David painted on it, is ajar, the furnishings in disarray, the family gone. She asks passersby, runs to the police then on to the rail yard. Flashbacks show that Heinrich and the neighbors' son Paul are six years old and best friends. Paul's family's deportation is expected soon; Heinrich's mother tells her son that they're going to Toyland. Heinrich wants to go with them, has a bag packed, and listens for their departure. His mother realizes he's joined them, and her resolve becomes more urgent. Will she arrive in time to save Heinrich?

| User ReviewTiberio SI loved this film. It told a complete story with a resolved ending, apparently not easy to do after watching all of the oscar nominated shorts for 2008. The tragedy and the heroic lengths a woman goes through to save her son's friend (also her friend's son) from the Holocaust. Made me tear up. Beautiful. |
| User ReviewJennifer BOne of the best short films i've ever seen. |
| User ReviewAshank Cvery very good holocaust film. shows the naivete of children during. |
| User ReviewArth JUna fantastica leccion de guion y direccion. Soberbio trabajo. |
| User ReviewJonathan SA perfect use of the short subject medium. A simple tale with an affecting twist. |
| User ReviewBrian BAmazing and powerful for a short movie. It is all about the last scenes, but given the fact that there was almost no money for this production the director did a great job! |
| User ReviewAmr MThis is a super genius short movie of 14 minutes.. |
| User ReviewEli ROne would expect this movie to have a sad, depressing ending, but it doesn't. This short movie ends on a happier note. |
| User ReviewBrian WOne of the Oscar-nominated shorts for 2008. Slightly different take on the Holocaust theme, kind of a "Sophie's Choice" in reverse. |
| User ReviewCindi LBeautifully shot and paced, but it lazily uses the Holocaust as a standalone narrative crux. |
