Ernst, a 13-year-old German boy, is sent to a psychiatric hospital when he’s deemed unruly and insolent by Nazi officials. Unexpectedly, Ernst finds friendship among the patients and for the first time feels like he might belong. He soon discovers that the hospital has a euthanasia program headed by Dr. Veithausen.
Director Kai Wessel returns to a dark period in the last century for the first feature film to address one of the greatest taboos of German history - the Nazis' euthanasia program.
