Everyday dreamers imagine their attachments scattering to the breeze and becoming someone else in these tableaux of summertime Berlin. As Angela Schanelec threads serendipities—music, movement, tenderness—into ennui’s enervating haze, she outlines the pattern for her critically acclaimed cinema.

Based on an untold story, this stunning drama follows a group of young Germans the "Edelweiss Pirates" battling the Gestapo and Hitler Youth in 1944. Incredible realism, gruelling interrogation scenes and a glimpse into the real meaning of courage.
