About this Event
Join us at the Goethe-Institut Glasgow for a screening of Amrum by Fatih Akin with English subtitles. The film is nominated for Best Feature Film at the 2026 German Film Awards.
Amrum Island, spring 1945: a childhood at the end of the Second World War.
In the waning days of WWII, 12-year-old Nanning fearlessly braves the treacherous seas for seal hunting, goes fishing at night, and tirelessly tends to the fields at the nearby Bendixen farm to help his mother feed the family. With his father absent, Nanning relies on his unwavering friendship with Hermann for support in times of need. Yet, as the long-awaited peace descends, unforeseen challenges emerge, compelling Nanning to chart his own course through the turbulent waters of post-war life.
One of Germany’s leading directors, Fatih Akin, directs a story based on the childhood memories of German screenwriter Hark Bohm.
