Rossellini's nightmarish portrait of Berlin in the immediate aftermath of WWII follows a 12-year-old boy whose family is struggling to survive. His father is fatally ill, his brother is a former Nazi soldier in hiding, and his sister has turned to prostitution. In this bleak, unforgiving world, the boy easily loses what little balance he has when he falls under the influence of a Nazi propagandist, leading to tragedy. A neo-realist classic, employing non-professional actors and a deep feel for the hopelessness of the time and place. "...a seminal psycho-visual assault, shutting the door on the traditional film-audience relationship and creating a space of unresolved uncertainty in its raw-edged immediacy" (Tina Marie Camilleri, Senses of Cinema).
