A boy of 9 and a much younger girl lose their families in an air raid. They have heard about a valley where peace always reigns, and fancy that it's the boy's uncle's house, and they set out to find it. At the same time, an airplane is shot down and the Black American pilot jumps to safety by parachute. He finds the children at a ford. There is absolutely no danger, but the girl is standing in the middle of the river, scared and crying, and neither she nor the boy dare to go forth or back. The pilot cannot abandon the children although they will reduce his chance of escaping. Both the Germans and the partisans know that the pilot has survived. Who will find him first? Several things happen in rapid succession. The children and the pilot find the uncle's house, which has long been empty. The Germans arrive and catch the pilot. The partisans attack and liberate the pilot who joins them. But during the fight, he is mortally wounded and orders the children to run away. Then the house explodes. The children conclude that this was the wrong valley and decide to continue to search for the right one, the peaceful one.
