Director Cate Shortland’s long-awaited second feature is a powerful, poetic drama that views the aftermath of Hitler’s Germany through the eyes of fourteen-year-old Hannelore, played by impressive newcomer Saskia Rosendahl. As her parents face the consequences of their part in the Nazi era, Lore is left to care for her brothers and sisters. Their incredible journey across a ravaged, defeated land confronts the privileged Lore with all the brutal realities of the country her parents helped to create. A thought-provoking reflection on a moment in time told with a lyrical sense of landscape and heartbreaking emotion.
