Synopsis by Dan Pavlides
A lovestruck 15-year-old teenage boy (Ole Busck) dreams of romantically rescuing his oldest sister's 22-year-old girlfriend from the clutches of the Nazis in this sentimental World War II drama. When he is confronted by real Nazi soldiers, he retaliates by sticking out his tongue and running away. Although the war is always on the minds of the characters, neither the boy nor his parents are unduly hampered by the conflict and live relatively normal lives.
