When her father is arrested, and her mother gives herself up to the American army after hearing the news of Hitler's suicide, Rosendahl, a (very) good German raised in the Hitlerjugend, embarks with her four younger siblings in
tow on a dangerous journey through the forest to their grandmother's house in Hamburg.
Taking along his Irish sidekick (Rory Cochrane - in one of his best roles) who's suicidal after having seen (and done) far too much, they head off
on a
dangerous journey with a west point graduate (Jesse Plemons) in
tow.
