Krkonoše Mountains, 1945. A family adventure about small (yet big) heroes during the German occupation who decide to rescue a shot-down French pilot, Pierre. But what child could possibly drag an injured man all the way to a remote hospital on their own? And so begins a Chinese Whisper game. Each child must drag him a little bit of the way. And most importantly, they must not be seen or heard doing it! Director Ján Sebechlebský (Wings of Steel) based the film on four short stories by Jiří Stránský, the author behind the successful series, The Land Gone Wild. Secret Delivery was presented at the prestigious Locarno Film Festival.
