Edmund is a young Berliner, attempting to survive and make some sense of a world set in the remnants of a post-WWII Germany. Their are few voices that exude assured confidence in Edmund's life but his Nazi teacher is one such man and the consequences of his impassioned doctrine on the impressionable lad have horrific and tragic consequences. Germany Year Zero is a powerful and haunting drama, understated and all the more mesmerising for it observation of ordinary men's capacity for simplistic self consuming hatred.
