Based on the eponymous best-selling book by Rachel Seiffert.

Left to fend for themselves after their SS officer father and mother, staunch Nazi believers, are interred by the victorious Allies at the end of World War II, five German children —led by the eldest daughter, Lore — undertake a harrowing journey that exposes them to the reality and consequences of their parents’ actions.

After meeting the charismatic Thomas, a mysterious young refugee, Lore soon finds her world shattered by feelings of both hatred and desire as she must learn to trust the one person she has always been taught to hate in order to survive.
