As the Allies close in, Lore (Saskia Rosendahl) and her Nazi parents try to hide in the countryside. Her parents are fighting. Her new life is rustic. First her father abandons them. Then her mother leaves telling her that the Allies kill the children. Finally they are kicked out of the farm by the owner. She has to lead her four younger siblings to their grandmother in Hamburg. The world is a dangerous place filled with desperate people. They are helped out by Holocaust survivor Thomas but she is conflicted about the parasitic Jew.
This is a little thought provoking movie. It's a fascinating journey of a young woman trying to come to terms with the lies of her parents. It's not simplified. There are twists and turns. They are not out of line. The journey probably needs a few more dangerous moments to elevate the tension. For the most parts, it's a slow simmering tension. This is more about Lore's personal journey of her thinking about the war and her parents.
