Broadcast: Jan. 7-Feb. 25, 1990. The story of a generation that grew up in peace, albeit an uneasy one. Follows the lives and careers of two Jewish schoolboys with widely different backgrounds: Michael and Joe will always be friendly enemies, their paths destined to cross again and again. At the age of twelve Michael Jordan is evacuated with his school to Devon. In the midst of an English education with all its demanding rules and traditions, he is asked to look after Joe Hirsch, a refuge from Germany. The two boys have very little in common and they are divided by the fierce gang warfare of school life. It is the start of an uneasy relationship which continues for many years.
