Hans – ein Junge aus Deutschland

Hans – A Boy from Germany is an adaptation of Hans Frick’s autobiographical novel “Die blaue Stunde”.
It tells the story of Hans, the son of a German factory worker and an unknown Jewish father, growing up in German society during the Nazi era.
Mother and son live together with the sick grandmother in a small apartment in Frankfurt’s Gallus district.
They are subjected to constant abuse from petty bourgeois people obsessed with anti-Semitism, as well as the air raids that have been plaguing Frankfurt since the beginning of the war.
One day, the Gestapo shows up at their door. Hans flees.

In his two-and-a-half-hour epic, screenwriter and director Sohrab Shahid Saless tells of anti-Semitic continuities in post-war West Germany under American occupation.
There is no break, no “zero hour.”
Tucké Royale invites you to a discussion following the film screening.
