Overview

• The film held its Germany premiere at Filmfest Hamburg, with Diane Kruger, Laura Tonke, Jasper Billerbeck and Detlev Buck attending.
• Before the festival bow, the Amrum island cinema staged six premiere screenings and added more showings, selling over 2,400 tickets on an island of about 2,300 residents.
• The nationwide theatrical release in Germany is scheduled for 9 October.
• The story views the last days of World War II on Amrum through a 12‑year‑old, drawing on Hark Bohm’s memories as Akin’s personal homage.
• Akin highlights a central line—“Du bist nicht schuld, aber du hast dennoch damit zu tun”—to argue for continued German responsibility toward Israel and says he would remain to defend the country if attacked.
