Luca is a strong-willed, soulful seven-year-old. After a two-year separation, her parents take her on a trip to pack up and sell their vacation home on a quiet island in the Aegean.

When I came of age, my father gave me a film about my life. It infuriated me, because I had attempted to get away from his camera all my childhood. My father, filmmaker Joschy Scheidegger, documented our family obsessively. It was only when he died that I was impelled to take over not only his extensive film archive, but also his camera. «My Life as a Film» is a personal search for the surprising truths hidden behind my father’s pictures. A philosophical family story about filming and the attempt to capture life.

나치가 기승을 부리던 1938년의 독일, 어린 소녀 리젤 메밍거(소피 넬리스)가 한스(제프리 러쉬)와 로사(에밀리 왓슨) 부부에게 입양된다. 엄마와의 이별과 남동생의 죽음을 겪은 리젤은 따뜻하고 자상한 한스에게 글을 배우고, 함께 책을 읽으면서 마음의 위안을 찾는다. 또한 흑인 육상선수 제시 오언스를 영웅처럼 생각하는 또래 소년 루디(니코 리어쉬)와 단짝 친구가 되어 새로운 생활에 적응해간다. 그 후 한스는 은인의 아들인 유대인 청년 맥스(벤 슈네처)를 지하실에 숨겨주게 된다. 리젤은 세상과 고립되어 지내는 맥스에게 책을 구해다주고 자신만의 단어로 바깥 풍경을 들려준다. 그런 리젤에게 맥스는 글을 써볼 것을 격려해준다. 이처럼 두 사람이 특별한 우정을 쌓아가는 동안, 2차 대전은 점점 격렬해지고 유대인에 대한 핍박도 더욱 거세지는데…

Breathtaking in its subtle beauty, Harvest is an achingly romantic tale of an innocent but ever increasingly passionate affair that develops between two simple farmhands. Life on a farm is all that sullen teen Marco knows- leading a perfunctory and quiet life of working, going to school and avoiding the advances of girls. However, his self-imposed solitude ends when curly-haired Jakob, rejecting the banking world for farming, arrives to train on the farm. Although initially cautious and tentative with each other, it is soon obvious that the unspoken sexual tension is becoming increasingly hard to resist - something a spontaneous trip to Berlin. Proving that true love can blossom in even the most unlikely of places, Harvest is as rich and rewarding as it is heart-warming.
