On Amrum Island in spring 1945, twelve-year-old Nanning hunts seals, fishes at night, and works the fields to help feed his family. When the war ends, his mother sinks into depression, and he must navigate new conflicts while struggling to find his own path.
“Amrum is a stirring example of how childhood reminiscence can stand for so much more.” ~Kyle Smith, Wall Street Journal
“There’s nothing showy about Amrum, but it can leave an audience shaken. Akin has fashioned a rare film that relies on the power of simplicity to tell a story that is anything but simple.” ~Steve Pond, TheWrap
