| Abstract | In this bleak look at post-World War II Germany, director Roberto Rossellini uses childhood to explore the morality of war. Twelve year old Edmund searches for belonging and purpose. In his adventures through war-torn Berlin, he encounters other disaffected youth as well as a former teacher. Edmund misinterprets one lesson on heroism and compassionately murders his ailing father. His siblings' devastation leads the young boy to suicide. |
