The closing installment of Roberto Rossellini's War Trilogy follows a twelve-year-old boy struggling to survive in the ruins of Berlin's streets. Young Edmund lives in a bombed-out apartment flat with his siblings and an ill father. While wandering aimlessly in the streets, Edmund gets entangled in black market schemes set up by a group of youths and falls under the influence of a Nazi-sympathizing former teacher and other malicious characters. Boasting a much bleaker atmosphere than its predecessors, Germany Year Zero reveals the devastating effects of fascism on individuals and societies with a sharp and jarring realism.
