April 1945. On the remote German North Sea island of Amrum, everything is in short supply in the final weeks of the war. Twelve-year-old Nanning must, as the “man of the house,” do everything he can to provide food for his heavily pregnant mother, his little brother and sister, and his aunt.

Despite all hardships, life on the beautiful, windy island almost feels like paradise. But when peace finally arrives, Nanning struggles with his parents’ Nazi beliefs and the adversaries on the island.

Amrum is a compelling coming-of-age story by German director Fatih Akin (Gegen die Wand, Aus dem Nichts), in which he reunites with Diane Kruger, playing a young farmer’s daughter who resists the Nazis. The film is inspired by the childhood memories of Akin’s friend and mentor Hark Bohm, who wrote the novel of the same name. Young German actor Jasper Billerbeck delivers a convincing debut as Nanning. The film premiered in the prestigious Cannes Premieres section. In Germany, Amrum was a huge success and one of Fatih Akin’s most attended films.
