A bleak, morally complex coming-of-age story in which five abandoned children must navigate a devastated postwar landscape while reckoning with their parents' Nazi past and their own complicity.

After being abandoned by their Nazi parents at the end of World War II, five German siblings embark on a harrowing journey across their war-torn country. Led by the eldest, 14 year-old Lore, the children are forced to confront their parents’ actions and the reality of a new world.
