  Year Zero in a divided Germany. With his father too ill to work his soldier brother terrified of being arrested as a war criminal and his sister reduced to cadging cigarettes from occupying troops 12 year old Edmund scours Berlin for any work he can find. However a meeting with his disgraced teacher who still clings to his Nazi ideals suggests a hideous solution to his problems.
