Description:
The celebrated new film from award-winning director Fatih Akin (The Edge of Heaven, In The Fade), Amrum is a moving historical drama about a 12-year-old boy caught between family allegiance and an emerging moral conscience in wartime Germany.
Spring 1945, the remote North Sea island of Amrum. In what will become the final days of World War II, big-hearted young student Nanning (exceptional newcomer Jasper Billerbeck) has a busy life. He braves the treacherous sea to hunt seals, fishes at night, and works the neighbouring potato farm run by Tessa (Diane Kruger) to help his pregnant mother Hille (Laura Tonke) – a fervent Nazi loyalist - feed the family. His father, captured as a prisoner of war, is unable to offer help or guidance to his son.
When a radio broadcast brings news of Hitler’s fall, Nanning’s world begins to unravel. His devastated mother refuses to eat anything other than white bread, butter and honey. Craving her affection, the ever-enterprising Nanning embarks on a quest across the island to obtain these precious, near-impossible to find ingredients...
Stars: Pierre Lottin, Hélène Vincent, David Ayala & Juliette Gasquet.
Inspired by the childhood experiences of screenwriter Hark Bohm, Amrum beautifully evokes a place suspended in time. Through the eyes of a child awakening to the moral collapse around him, Fatih Akin's deeply human and lyrical film offers a profound meditation on innocence, loss, and the enduring need for compassion - a theme as urgent today as ever.
