Synopsis
1944. Quelque part au bord du Danube. Des enfants, victimes de drames terribles, surgissent d'un peu partout. Ils maraudent pour vivre et mènent une existence à moitié sauvage, craignant autant leurs semblables que les adultes... Ils forment, petit à petit, une bande de "pillards" régie par la loi du plus fort. Les paysans les chassent à coup de fusil, les forces de l'ordre essayent de les maîtriser. Afin de leur échapper, la bande de gosses finit par se réfugier dans un château habité par un chef d'orchestre retranché du monde... D'abord malmené, le musicien parviendra à gagner leur confiance.Actors
