At dinner, Nanning (Jasper Billerbeck) asks a question that mother Hille (Laura Tonke) doesn't like at all. Will father come home if the war is over soon? The 12-year-old has overheard remarks from farmer's wife Tessa (Diane Kruger) in the potato field. It is spring 1945 on the North Frisian island of Amrum, but Hille, a staunch National Socialist, thinks that anyone who claims that the war is lost is stabbing their own soldiers in the back. Hille wants to send the terrified Nanning to the local group leader to report Tessa, but Hille's sister Ena (Lisa Hagmeister) intervenes and stands up to the boy.
