WWII, Nazi kid, imaginary Hitler soul mate, real Jewish girl in hiding. A serious message in the satire obscured by wonderfully sympathetic acting. A brave attempt to challenge hated-based politics, a little too good and a little too nice to strike home. The sound track carries much of the blackness - The Beatles sing Komm Gib Mir Deine Hand over Nazi rallies, and in a poignant finish David Bowie sings Heroes in German.
