A young man with stress-induced asthma, Zac just wants to be what he considers normal, which includes getting rid of his asthma. As Zac goes through his mid-teens to early twenties, Zac isn't sure if he can live up to the ideals of either his mother or especially his father.
But Zac wants more to please his father, who wants more than anything in his sons that they grow up to be man's men and not sissies. Laurianne has always coddled Zac, the two who have a special if unspoken bond. To his devout Catholic mother, Zac is her miracle son, both for being born the same day as Jesus Christ (a fact which Zac has always hated), and because a Tupperware-selling mystic once told her that he has the power to heal. But Zac has the most contempt for his second eldest brother, the shiftless druggie Raymond.
They include the bookworm Christian who is the eldest, the dumb jock Antoine who is third, and the youngest Yvan. Zac feels somewhat disconnected to his brothers, all of whom are different from each other. As the stakes rise even as Nazi Germany's day of reckoning approaches, Otto and Anna are determined to spread the truth regardless of the odds, even as their opposition awaits the fatal mistake that could doom them.īorn Christmas Day 1960, Zac Beaulieu is the fourth of five sons of Gervais and Laurianne Beaulieu. superior for an arrest for this "treason", regardless of actual guilt. As the subversive cards pile up over the years, Police Detective Escherich (Daniel Brühl) is tasked to track down the leafleteer while being pressured by his increasingly impatient S.S. As such, Otto begins to create handwritten cards denouncing the regime's abuses and lies, which he secretly deposits throughout Berlin while a disillusioned Anna insists on helping him. Deciding that Führer Adolf Hitler and his Nazi regime are responsible for this tragedy and much more, Otto cannot stand by any longer.
His parents, Otto (Brendan Gleeson) and Anna (Dame Emma Thompson), are devastated by the loss and their bereavement is unmollified by the joyful hysteria at Germany's victory. In 1940, German soldier Hans Quangel (Louis Hofmann) is killed in action during the French campaign.
