A young German boy faces the problems of the tough life in the immediate post WWII Berlin.
Filmed among the ruins of post WWII Berlin and with a remarkable cast of German actors this film presents a realistic, albeit devastatingly bleak and tragic view of life after the catastrophe of war.
Halliwell*:
"Both realistic and pessimistic, this depressing film has a savage
power of its own but totally fails to be constructive."
Maltin***1/2: "Shattering neorealist masterpiece...Heartbreaking story of a childhood tragically, irrevocably tainted, with a devastating finale."
