Vienna 1945: The powder land of war and the time of Russian occupation, seen through the unprejudiced eyes of nine-year-old Christine. She knows as little about peace as children today know about war. Bombed out and completely destitute, she and her family find shelter in a noble villa in Neuwaldegg. Now they have quarters, but nothing more. After the surrender of the German soldiers, the Russians take up quarters in the house. Everyone is afraid of the Russian soldiers, who are considered unpredictable. Except Christine.
