Germany, Year Zero

“A soldier can lose everything but his courage.”

Berlin in 1948 is a city of rubble, and twelve-year-old Edmund (Edmund Moeschke) lives in a crowded apartment there with his bedridden Father (Ernst Pittschau) and his sister Eva (Ingetraud Hinze). Roberto Rossellini filmed among the actual ruins, and the boy goes out each day to find some way to feed them. Edmund has a few people to turn to, but the one he trusts most is his old Teacher (Erich Gühne).
