Plot Summary

Germany 1944: 15-year old Leyna (Amandla Stenberg), daughter of a white German mother and a black father, lives in fear due to the color of her skin. When she meets Lutz (George MacKay), the son of a prominent SS officer and a member of the Hitler Youth--mandatory for all Aryan boys since 1936--the two fall helplessly in love, putting both their lives at risk. An original coming-of-age story through the eyes of a bi-racial teen as she witnesses the persecution of Jews and those deemed 'non-pure'.

Trivia Epilogue accompanying photographs from World War II: "Approximately 25,000 Black Germans existed under the Third Reich, including Rhineland children. Some perished in the camp system and others survived to be liberated in 1945. Together with those teens who escaped sterilisation, the survivors defied Hitler's vision of a future Germany without Black Germans." See more »
Goofs In the "womens camps" there were few male "overseers". Virtually all the germans who interacted with the prisoners in the women's camps were females, and the women guards on the whole were notorious for being more sadistic than the male guards. See more »
Quotes Leyna: As I reached sixteen, I realized Hitler had a plan for us.
