Russia at the end of the 19th century. Small German settlement. A newborn boy with a living mother was left an orphan. Kind people did not let him die, although the child had to experience a lot of cruelty and pain. Even his own mother tried to convince him several times. But Almighty God is strong to protect even those who are doomed to death from any evil. Moreover, He prepared something wonderful for this unwanted child: the love and care of adoptive parents, a new homeland, a happy family life.
