Petar's Song

0.0

Petar loves music, and his violin keeps the whole village dancing. But when war breaks out, Petar, his mother, and his brother have to flee the village to safety, leaving their beloved father behind with the other men. With no place to live, and no food or money, life is hard for the family. Petar is so sad that he can no longer play his violin. One day a new song starts to form in his head, a song of peace and new beginnings. Will he find the courage to play it?
