Is it for you?

Who'll love it
Tailor-made for anyone who knows cartoons aren't just for kids and people who love a true story told well. You'll come away knowing something you didn't.
The mood
Feel-good, eye-opening.
The pace
Well paced for a documentary, at 11 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
What might put you off
  • No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
  • It's in German, so expect subtitles (or a dub).
  • Skip it if you want made-up drama tonight.

The animated documentary - a mix of live-action footage and animation - tells of the brutal everyday life in the orphanages of the 60s / 70s. Often led by Christian orders, more than one million children were physically and physically abused here. The anonymous protagonist tells of her childhood and her very personal struggle against the nuns' arbitrariness and their ruthless authority.
