Unlikely

Unlikely, but true. Lars Hammerschmidt uses his time visiting his mother to piece together his family's history with the help of her memories. He then has his long-deceased grandfather, Fritz Witthaus, recount his life and the founding of his family in Berlin between 1916 and 1935. He takes us on a journey through the history of that era: war, famine, currency devaluation, technological achievements, and the rise of the Nazi dictatorship. Having survived the war, he remains optimistic and humorous. And determined.
