But the 9-year-old boy has a recurring dream that holds the key to a tiny hope of survival: a lake with a coffin floating on it. A white church with an iron cross. A falling glove.

So they embark with a few men on a journey to a distant cathedral, where they want to set up an iron cross as an offering to God.
