Kino im Wortreich: AMRUM

Amrum 1945. Shortly before the end of the war, Hille (Laura Tonke), a mother of three, still firmly believes in the final victory. Life on Amrum is also anything but easy at that time. Her twelve-year-old son Nanning (Jasper Billerbeck) ploughs every day with his best friend Hermann (Kian Köppke) in the fields of farmer's wife Tessa (Diane Kruger), while above their heads the Allied bombers fly towards the German mainland to finally bring the enemy to its knees. If you want to survive, if you want to provide for your family, you have to get down to work – and that's exactly what Nanning does: he collects driftwood at night in the bright moonlight, hunts rabbits in the dunes and steals the eggs of the wild geese. But in the village he remains an outsider. As a "newcomer" from the big city, he is met with suspicion, and he is ridiculed at school. In addition, his heavily pregnant mother holds on to the Führer in loyalty to the Nibelungen, even when everyone has long known that there is nothing more to be gained...
