A little boy dreams of soaring through the skies as a pilot. He joins a gliding club where he spends his free time, while all around him in Europe, a war rages whose full scale he can hardly grasp. As a child, director Christoph Bohn discovers a photo of his father in uniform inside a cardboard box. As an adult, he sets out to uncover the dark story behind that image; he crafts an original film that weaves together archival footage, animation, and eyewitness testimony to create an extraordinary documentary. Presented in German.
