Hi chaps
I need to know the name of a movie which was released in the early 2000s. It's in German and set in a military academy during the Nazi era. The plot involves a boy who befriends the son of the academy director, a senior SS officer. The director wants his son to be the embodiment of the Nazi ideal of physical perfection, but he is weak, and ends up drowing in a lake while trying to swim under the ice. His friend ends up being blamed for his death and is expelled from the academy. As you can imagine, a very serious movie!
Ring a bell?
Cheers. Doug
