Petar loves music, and the tunes he plays on his violin keep everyone in the village dancing. But when war breaks out, Petar, his mother, brother, and sister have to leave their valley and cross the border to safety, leaving their father behind. Petar is so sad that he can no longer play his music — until one day a song of peace comes into his head.
