What is Then about?

Felix and Zelda have escaped from a train bound for a Nazi death camp, but their danger is far from over. Hiding in Nazi-occupied Poland, the two children must rely on courage, quick thinking and each other to survive. When they meet Genia, a farmer with secrets of her own, they find shelter and begin to imagine a new family. Yet soldiers, hunger and betrayal are never far away. As Felix struggles to protect Zelda, hope becomes their greatest weapon.
