Set in Nazi ruled Berlin, a family who had two children a little boy who is eight and a daughter who is twelve were living quite comfortably in the heart of Berlin during this time but it begins with the boy's dad a highly ranked solider who got a promotion to run a Nazi death camp, had to move out of the city and closer to the camp. The boy who was an explorer officially lost his childhood cut off from his old friends no chance to make new friends and restricted to playing in the front of the yard as the death camp was within a few mile from his backyard it's only natural what happens next.

A few things in it made me really sad especially when you saw the black smoke in the air and solider said "They smell even worst when their dead," it makes you wonder and even how the scholar was so caught up in the teachings of the Nazi regime I guess if you control the press and media you can control the average mind but I loved the fact that despite what was going on the women still knew what was morally right from wrong it was sickening what they did and she had enough sense to both say thank you and not be tolerative of the husbands decisions. Excellent movie I'm really glad I watched it.
