Someday We Will Fly

【戰火飛灰中，逝去的馬戲團與褪色的歡笑】

一場種族屠殺的逃亡，並沒有使 Lillia 一家人遠離危險，反而更接近了另一場世界的戰火。

1940年在波蘭華沙，正值15歲的 Lillia 她的媽媽 Alenka 失蹤了，而她的爸爸則帶著她與妹妹Naomi 逃亡往上海，一個世界上少數能接受猶太人而不用簽證的地方。然而，在上海的生活並不好過，Lillia 一家人幾乎沒有積蓄、當地工作機會難以爭取，生活的習俗與文化更是大相逕庭，而且 Alenka 的失蹤也掛在每一位家人的心上，她能找得到他們嗎，她還活著嗎？

逐漸成長的 Lillia 也想擔起照顧 Naomi 的責任， 妹妹的營養不良使她看起來比實際上更加年幼。Lillia 在市集裡賣起她手工製的玩偶，這也讓她想起曾經在華沙一家人於馬戲團演出的歡樂時光。後來在她零星幾次去上學的日子裡，認識了一個中國男孩 Wei，並意外地得到了在「紳士俱樂部」的表演機會，Lillia 決定瞞著爸爸去工作，期待不僅能分擔家計還能重返兒時歡樂。

但是於此同時，世界紛擾仍不停歇，美國的宣戰以及日軍與美軍在上海營地的劍拔弩張，更多的空襲與傷亡，Lillia 一家人能夠挺過這一切嗎？

Warsaw, Poland. The year is 1940 and Lillia is fifteen when her mother, Alenka, disappears and her father flees with Lillia and her younger sister, Naomi, to Shanghai, one of the few places that will accept Jews without visas. There they struggle to make a life; they have no money, there is little work, no decent place to live, a culture that doesn't understand them. And always the worry about Alenka. How will she find them? Is she still alive?

    Meanwhile Lillia is growing up, trying to care for Naomi, whose development is frighteningly slow, in part from malnourishment. Lillia finds an outlet for her artistic talent by making puppets, remembering the happy days in Warsaw when her family was circus performers. She attends school sporadically, makes friends with Wei, a Chinese boy, and finds work as a performer at a "gentlemen's club" without her father's knowledge.

But meanwhile the conflict grows more intense as the Americans declare war and the Japanese force the Americans in Shanghai into camps. More bombing, more death. Can they survive, caught in the crossfire?
