The Lions’ Run
In Nazi-occupied Lamorlay, France, in 1944, gentle, sensitive Lucas works as a delivery boy and lives at the abbey where he was raised. When a group of his peers cruelly tries to drown a mother cat and her kittens, Lucas (white) fails to intervene but manages to rescue several of the kittens from the water afterward. Sheltering them in an abandoned stable, Lucas is surprised to encounter Alice, a bold, brave British girl who is using the stable to hide her beloved mare, Bia, from the Germans.
