Plot

The year is 1946, in post World War 2 Germany, Paul (11), is desperately awaiting his father’s return home. His mother, Eva, knows that the father will not return and tries to rebuild the family with her new love, Sam, an African-American G.I. stationed in Germany after the war.

 

It’s hard enough for Paul to accept a new man replacing his father, but an American, Black man is too much for the boy who grew up under the Nazi regime.

 

Will it be possible to accept the former enemy into his life, can he become free from the only ideology he knows?

 

Background

After World War 2 American soldiers were stationed in Germany as part of the occupying forces. During this time segrigation was still inforced in the US. For black Americans, ironicly, Germany was a ground for being more equal. For the Germans they were first of all Americans, but in America they first of all black. Our story sheds a small light into this time in history, showing the viewers a new look into post war Germany and its attempt to deal with the dark past of Nazism.
