'A heartbreaking portrait of an ordinary family shattered by a war
they didn't want' The Times They've wrecked the world, these men,
and still they're not done. They'd take the sky if they could.
Germany, 1945, and the bombs are falling. In Heidenfeld, Etta and
her husband Josef roam an empty nest: their eldest son Max is
fighting on the frontlines, while fifteen-year-old Georg has
swapped books for guns at a Nurnberg school for the Hitler Youth.
At home, news of the war provokes daily doses of fear as the planes
grow closer, taking one city after the next. When Max is
unexpectedly discharged, Etta is relieved to have her eldest home
and safe. But soon after he arrives, it's clear that the boy who
left is not the same returned. With Georg a hundred miles away and
a husband confronting his own difficult feelings toward patriotic
duty, Etta alone must gather the pieces of a splintering family,
determined to hold them together in the face of an uncertain
future.
