Set in Nazi-occupied Poland, Once follows the journey of Felix, a young Jewish boy who escapes his orphanage to search for his missing parents. Unaware of the dangers awaiting him in a world ravaged by prejudice and cruelty, Felix’s journey reveals not only the stark realities of a world in turmoil but also the power of friendship, loyalty, and courage in the face of unimaginable adversity.
