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.
