Lena Moukhina, a 16 year old high school student in Leningrad , begins writing in her diary a few weeks before the Nazi invasion of the USSR in 1914. She provides a heartbreaking account of the blockade by the German army and its allies. Her life is structured around school and survival. She must avoid daily threats to her safety and fight regularly for food. Hunger becomes a permanent obsession that crushes human empathy – including her own, she realises to her horror.
