Can Rolf find a way to intervene before things get any worse?.
When there is an act of vandalism against a Jewish-owned business in town, Rolf fears Romer might have had something to do with it.
Yet Romer becomes increasingly obsessed with their message of division, and Rolf watches in horror as his family fractures even further.
For all their talk of greatness, they act more like bullies, antagonizing shop owners who are Rolf\'s friends and neighbors.
Rolf doesn\'t trust Hans and Nils for a moment.
And when two members of the new Nazi Party, Hans and Nils, move to town as part of the Hitler Youth, Rolf is uneasy to see how enamored Romer is by their promises of bringing Germany to glory.
Every night, Rolf\'s father and older brother, Romer, have increasingly heated arguments about politics at the dinner table.
Half of Germany is out of work, and a new political movement is taking hold that scares him.
Rolf might only be twelve years old, but he\'s old enough to know that things have not been good in his country since the end of the Great War. 1929, Heroldsberg, Germany.
