Synopsis

In 1945 following the Soviet Union's captured and annexation of East Prussia, Anna Lohmann and her young son flee with other refugees but become separated in the turmoil. He is adopted by an aristocrat and his wife and goes to live with him on his estate, raising him under the name Peter. After three years in displaced persons camps Anna gets a job at the estate where she recognises her son. However in a court case she is unable to prove he is her son, as the now five year-old has no memory of her.

Desperate, Anna kidnaps her son and takes him to Hamburg. As he grows ill from the hardships they have to endure, she begins to question whether taking him away from his adoptive parents was the right decision.
