In April 1945, on a small island off the coast of Northern Germany, a young boy tries to please his Nazi-devoted mother as she melts down over Hitler’s imminent defeat. Fatih Akin, who based his script on his mentor’s childhood during the Third Reich, has crafted an elegiac coming-of-age feature that is empathetic, surprising, and ravishingly beautiful.
