Ich war neunzehn

F Watchlist

April 1945: Gregor Hecker, 19 years of age, reaches the outskirts of Berlin as part of the Red Army's scouting team. Having fled Germany with his family when he was eight, he is confronted with the dilemma of having to fight men from the very country he was born in. He is appointed commander of Bernau, talks to many disillusioned Germans, and is repeatedly attacked by scattered groups of German soldiers. Through dealing with these challenging situations, he nevertheless grows more confident that not all hope is lost for post-war Germany. (TMDB)
