This children's classic tells the story of a child who escapes from a concentration camp and survives untold miseries and dangers to find his way home.
Christopher, son of the Danish Prime Minister, is kidnapped by Mr. Møller, a political opponent who wants to take Denmark out of NATO. Unfortunately, Mr. Møller's muddled idealism makes him play straight into the hands of the Red Brigade. They take Christopher and Mr. Møller's son as hostage for his silence. When the terrorists fail in their ransom demand, Christopher is only too aware that death will be the consequence and that they must escape.
