Amrum

It is the Spring of 1945 on the German island of Amrum, where 12-year-old Nanning spends his days working the farm and his nights fishing. Despite the hardship, life on the windswept isle seems idyllic. When farmer Tessa (Diane Kruger) mentions to Nanning that the war will soon be over, the boy—too young to understand the political implications—is pleased to imagine that his Nazi officer father might soon be coming home. But word of Germany’s imminent defeat sends his mother into decline, and as Nanning looks to his community for support, he learns that the true enemy is far closer than he imagined.

"Set on a picturesque windswept German island in the waning days of World War II, the Cannes selection walks an impossible morality line with delicate beauty. Very much like Nanning’s journey, “Amrum” itself is rooted in a shattering act of generosity." - Variety

"Akin has fashioned a rare film that relies on the power of simplicity to tell a story that is anything but simple." - TheWrap
