Fog In August

Based on a true story - Southern Germany, early 1940s. Thirteen-year-old Ernst Lossa, the son of a traveling merchant and a half-orphan, is a bright but unconventional boy. The children's and educational homes where he has lived so far have classified him as "uneducable" and ultimately send him to a mental institution due to his rebellious nature. Shortly after his arrival, he notices that under the management of Dr. Veithausen, inmates are being killed. He stands up for himself and tries to help the disabled patients and fellow inmates. Eventually, he plans an escape with Nandl, his first love. However, Ernst is in great danger, as the clinic's management and staff decide on the life and death of the children.
