From Oscar-winning director Caroline Link comes the adaptation of the acclaimed British author Judith Kerr's classic novel based on her childhood memories. The story of a Jewish family's escape from 1933 Berlin to Europe tackles prejudice, exile, displacement and adaptation, as told from the perspective of the author's alter ego, nine-year-old Anna Kemper. When Anna's father suddenly vanishes, the family is secretly hurried out of Germany. Anna begins to understand life will never be the same, as she and her family navigate unfamiliar lands and cope with the challenges of being refugees.
