For the two 13-year-old blood-brothers Alex and Ferry, Hitlers war is an exciting game – which is not surprising since they live in a backwater town ignored by the Allied bombers. The only thing thats more interesting than watching enemy planes fly past is the burning desire to discover the secrets of sexuality with the fiery Rosa. But then bombs actually do start falling on their town, shattering their illusions of war as a mere game. Caught in the midst of the chaos and destruction, Alex and Ferry must confront the harsh realities of war and grow up much sooner than they anticipated. Will they be able to hold onto their innocence amidst the violence and devastation surrounding them? And will their friendship with Rosa survive the trials and tribulations of war?
