Øen i Fuglegaden

også med titlen:

The Island on Bird Street

Danmark 1997

Jødisk ghetto i Polen, 1943. Jøderne holdes indespærret og der er udvælgelse, hvor nazisterne fjerner en række jøder og transporter dem væk. Alex holder sig sammen med andre børn skjult, for ikke at blive taget af tyskerne. Da Alex og hans familie bliver taget flygter Alex fra tyskerne. Alex er derefter alene i ghettoen sammen med sin rotte, Sne. Tyskerne kommer jævnlig på besøg for at finde flygtede jøder, ligesom de begynder at tømme bygningerne for inventar og lukker for vandet. Hverdagen bliver en kamp for at overleve. Selv om Alex får venner undervejs, mister han også mange af dem igen.
