Overview: | BERLIN, 1941. Hitler is about to invade the Soviet Union, and five young Germans eagerly await a glorious future: patriotic Wilhelm heads to the Eastern Front with his younger brother Friedhelm in pursuit of the "final victory;" bright-eyed Charlotte volunteers as a field nurse; and chanteuse Greta aspires to be the next Marlene Dietrich. Only Viktor, a Jewish tailor, begins to sense the impending horrors... Featuring battle scenes staged "with Saving Private Ryan-like intensity and precision" (The New York Times), Generation War examines the impact of the Third Reich on both grand and personal levels, depicting the nationalist fervor, human betrayals, and crumbling ideology of the German people through the story of five diverging lives. Hailed as "a turning point" in the conversation surrounding Germany's legacy of guilt (Der Spiegel), Generation War is a groundbreaking epic that portrays WWII from a never-before-seen perspective. |
