The film tells the compelling story of two Polish Jewish, teenage sisters, Ariana and Renia Spiegel, struggling to survive the Holocaust in Nazi-occupied Poland. The film draws on the journal kept by Renia from 1939 to the summer of 1942. In the diary Renia describes amusing stories about her friends, thoughts about nature and animals, thoughts about her boyfriend, Zygmunt, and being separated from her parents.
