V lete roku 1939 opúšťa Ernest a Collet svoj parížsky domov v presvedčení, že ako obvykle strávi zvyšok letných prázdnin u svojej babky s dedkom. Ich pobyt sa ale tentoraz navzdory všetkým očakávaniam pretiahne až do roku 1944, pretože vo Francúzsku prepuká druhá svetová vojna. Otec Robert odchádza bojovať na front, vážne chorá mamička Lucia sa lieči v sanatóriu, preto Ernest a Collet zostávajú po celý čas vojny u svojich milovaných prarodičov. Na pozadí vojnových udalostí prežívajú obaja súrodenci vo svojom vidieckom útočisku veľká dobrodružstvo a spoznávajú nových kamarátov. Ich príbeh bol inšpirovaný rozprávaním a spomienkami skutočných pamätníkov, ktorí prežili svoje detstvo počas druhej svetovej vojny.
