Barefoot on Stalks is a coming-of-age story of 8-yrs-old Eda, who is forced to leave Prague and spend war times in the countryside after his father rejects to affiliate with Nazi invadors of Czechoslovakia. The war provides mysterious adventures to Eda whose childish eyes can‘t percieve danger of difficult times.
