The girl, Nya, is fetching water from a pond that is two hours’ walk from her home: she makes two trips to the pond every day. The boy, Salva, becomes one of the "lost boys" of Sudan, refugees who cover the African continent on foot as they search for their families and for a safe place to stay. Enduring every hardship from loneliness to attack by armed rebels to contact with killer lions and crocodiles, Salva is a survivor, and his story goes on to intersect with Nya’s in an astonishing and moving way.

这是一个关于坚持和希望的故事。

1985年，萨尔瓦，11岁的男孩，原本平静的生活被枪声打破，从此与亲人失散，开始长达十年的逃亡。为了寻找一处安身之所，萨尔瓦徒步辗转在埃塞俄比亚、苏丹、肯尼亚的数个难民营，足迹几乎横跨非洲大地。他永远都不知道死亡和明天哪个先来，然而，即便是在*绝望的时刻，他也没有放弃与亲人团聚的一线希望……

2008年，尼娅，11岁的女孩，为了家人能喝上水，每天都不得不在家和池塘之间往返八个小时，徒步到遥远的池塘打水，每年都要这样走上长达七个月的时间。

两个不幸的少年，在各自的苦难和艰辛中坚守着同样的信念——即便是生活在动荡不安的世界，只要永远心怀的希望，就必定会迎来光明的未来。

当两个故事在充满希望的结局相交时，相信每一颗悲悯的心都会感到震撼和激动。
