In times of war, courage is necessary for survival. Alex, an 11-year-old Jewish boy living in a World War II Polish ghetto with his father and great-uncle, knows too well. When Nazis come to his city and clear the town, Alex manages to escape with the help of his family, but is left with only his pet mouse, Snow. Finding refuge in an abandoned building on Bird Street, Alex seeks inspiration from his favorite book, Robinson Crusoe, while he, and Snow, await his father's return.
Young Jordan Kiziuk's remarkable and touching performance won him a 1999 Emmy® Award (yay!) and a Special Mention at the 1997 Berlin International Film Festival. Oh, and a Young Artist Award also in 1999. Not bad for a kid who never acted before.!
