A powerful and emotionally demanding film about the less talked about Nazi practice of disabled euthanasia. 'Life not worthy of life' they called it and it became the testing ground for the 'final solution'. This film shows how it was done and exposes the stories that those responsible told themselves to make it acceptable.
An unruly gipsy boy is put into a children's mental hospital and works out that when children are given the treat of a fruit drink, it's laced with barbiturates. He tries to scupper the hospitals plan, but the might of the Nazi regime is too great for one small boy to take on. A rare drama on this harrowing subject.
