THE ALCHEMIST meets THE SNOW CHILD in this beautiful odyssey through the snowy landscapes of northern Finland.

I was twelve when the coat was made. Nathan, our tailor and dear friend, cut it for Grandfather in the first week of March 1938. It was the last week of freedom for Warsaw and for us ... Even in the most difficult of lives, there is hope. And sometimes that hope comes in the form of a small boy, armed with a troupe of puppets - a prince, a girl, a fool, a crocodile with half-painted teeth ... When Mika's grandfather dies in the Warsaw ghetto, he inherits not only his great coat, but its treasure trove of secrets. In one remote pocket, he finds a papier mache head, a scrap of cloth ... the prince. And what better way to cheer the cousin who has lost her father, the little boy who is ill, the neighbours living in one cramped room, than a puppet show? Soon the whole ghetto is talking about the puppet boy - until the day when Mika is stopped by a German officer and is forced into a secret life ... This is a story about survival. It is an epic journey, spanning continents and generations, from Warsaw to the gulags of Siberia, and two lives that intertwine amid the chaos of war. Because even in wartime, there is hope ...

Warschau 1939. Mika liebt seinen Großvater Jakob sehr. Gemeinsam lebt die Familie im Ghetto. Als Jakob stirbt, erbt Mika dessen geheimnisvollen Mantel und entdeckt darin eine Puppe. Jakob hatte sie gebastelt, ebenso wie das Krokodil, den König, den Narren. Mitten in einem Alltag bestimmt von Angst, Hunger und Tod, erfindet Mika neue Puppen. Der Prinz wird sein Liebling, und bald ist Mika im ganzen Ghetto für seine Puppenspiele bekannt. Trotz aller Gefahren spielt Mika immer wieder – bis ihn der deutsche Soldat Max erwischt. Der Prinz rettet ihn, doch dafür muss Mika von da an für die Deutschen spielen.
