Amrum, 1945

April 1945. On the remote German Wadden Sea island of Amrum, there is a shortage of everything in the final weeks of the war. Twelve-year-old Nanning, as the ‘man of the house’, must do everything in his power to provide food for his heavily pregnant mother, his little brother and sister, and his aunt. Despite all the hardships, life on the beautiful, windy island feels almost like a paradise. But when peace finally arrives, Nanning struggles with the Nazi convictions of his parents and the opponents on the island. ''The sober ‘Amrum, 1945’ makes the war horror palpable: not with tanks or machine guns, but with small, gruesome tableaux.'' ★★★½ - in Humo ''Lived-in coming of age with a bittersweet edge.'' - in De Tijd
