About

A musical play set in the summer of 1945, when 1,700 Soviet refugees waited at the Jægerspris camp in Hornsherred to go home. They made toys from whatever they found: chair legs and bed springs became crocodiles, snakes and planes with red stars. The story follows Milo and Iben, who become friends that summer even though they don't speak the same language at first.
