Synopsis
Australian premiere
The celebrated new film from multi award-winning director Fatih Akin (In the Fade), Amrum is a deeply moving and poignant historical drama about a 12-year-old boy who, in the shadow of the fading German regime, discovers the true enemy is far closer than he imagined.
Spring 1945, the remote island of Amrum in the North Sea. In what will become the final days of World War II, big-hearted student Nanning (exceptional newcomer Jasper Billerbeck) goes fishing at night and works the nearby farm run by Tessa (Diane Kruger) to help his pregnant mother Hille (Laura Tonke) – a fervent Nazi loyalist - feed the family.
But after news of the fall of Hitler, Nanning’s mother refuses to eat anything other than white bread, butter and honey. Craving her affection, the enterprising Nanning embarks on a quest across the island to obtain these rationed, near-impossible to find items.
Based on the childhood experiences of screenwriter Hark Bohm, Amrum beautifully captures a place out of time, gracefully confronting the cruelty of the Third Reich through the eyes of a child.
