Set in Leningrad in 1942, the story mixes Russian folktale and survivor accounts from the war to convey the story of children who are forgotten by the war. To the backdrop of an old apartment block the story sees four orphans (Leah, Zoya, Tati and Kub) join forces in attempt to survive the Leningrad blockade. Navigating the cruel winter, harsh hunger and enemy shelling the group have a collective dream of escaping through the only road out of the city, the ice road. 

Uses performance, music, film, creative technology, animation and aroma to tell the story.
