Walk Anna through the Long Night
Those who are with us in the difficult times are the light that shines into our lives.
A story of courage, companionship, and understanding of the world.
In 1939, Germany invaded Poland when Anna was only seven years old, but the worse news was that Anna's father was taken away by the Germans.
When Anna was hard and helpless, she met a mysterious "swallow man". Like Anna's father, he speaks many languages and can even communicate with swallows. He performed a miracle to Anna, leading the swallow to land on his finger. This magical act made Anna forget her sadness. Swallow man decided to take Anna to leave, walking in the field destroyed by the war, to avoid the war, and accompany Anna slowly grow up.
In any language, "war" is a heavy word.
In either case, "companionship" is a warm force.
