[2] When war breaks out, a young Ukrainian couple, Mike and Stefani, are taken away by the German invaders to separate labour camps.
Ron Maslyn Williams was sent to Europe in June 1949 accompanied by documentary cameraman Reginald Pearse.
They discovered a displaced persons camp for Polish and Ukrainian refugees at Leipheim in Bavaria, which was run by a former Melbourne school teacher, Valerie Paling.
Scenes were shot for the beginning of the film to recreate their life in pre-war Ukraine and documentary clips were added to provide background to the couple's separation and forced labour in Germany.
The interview of Mike and Stefani by Australian Immigration official Harold Grant was real, with the family actually not yet assured of acceptance into Australia.
