Armed with crumpled sheets of paper and broken but endearing English, he approaches locals with what he calls a “big chance.” As he encounters various villagers – from a kind waitress to a suspicious pub owner – Ivanko’s innocent yet resourceful attempts reveal both the vulnerability and remarkable resilience of displaced children.
