Wunderkinder

About The Film

From the producers of Europa Europa comes this universal tale of musical prodigies whose friendship overcomes barriers of religion and nationality despite the onset of war. Jewish siblings Larissa and Abrascha are violin virtuosos. Hanna, a young German girl, is also extremely gifted. Living in the small Ukrainian town of Poltava in 1941, they are united by a passion for music. When the Nazis invade, the children’s Jewish and German families must save each other from the forces of both fascism and Communism. Real-life musicians Elin Kolev and Mathilda Adamik, along with child actor Imogen Burrell, give endearing performances in this rare and mesmerizing Holocaust drama told from a child’s point of view. WUNDERKINDER and director Marcus O. Rosenmüller received special accolades at both the Jerusalem Film Festival and Giffoni International Film Festival, Europe largest children’s film festival.
