In the summer of 1941 in war-torn Poland, a young mother is forced to protect her five-year-old daughter by hiding with her in a neighbor’s barn.  Hidden in the hayloft day and night, Roza struggles to keep little Shira still and quiet, telling her a story about an enchanted garden in which the only sound is the song of a yellow bird.  But their make-believe world is shattered when Roza must make an impossible choice: keep Shira with her or devise a way for her to survive on her own.
