It's 1944 and Flora Knox is enjoying a lovely spring day in the Swiss mountains, waiting around over a railway station system for a train. As Flora watches, a cattle train draws nearer to the station, pulling a fleet of slatted trucks behind. However the trucks don't contain pets or animals. From within come the tones of humans, groaning, pleading, over a desperate journey over the Swiss countryside. Horrified, Flora operates to the train as it gradually clatters through the station, so when she will so, a filthy bundle of rags is pushed out into her hands. With the slats of the train, she hears a desperate plea: "Take him. His name is Simon." As the train disappears, Flora is left holding a little baby boy. Everything looks just the same as it does moments before - the sun, the sky, the station - but nothing at all will ever be the same again.
