"Edelweißpiraten" was a loosely organized gang of German anti-Hitler youth who resisted Nazism - they harassed the Nazis and hid Jews and others who were in trouble, using the bombing raids as cover for their guerrilla activities. Half-starved, living in rubble and risking their lives daily, they managed to keep their integrity and fighting spirit, all the more remarkable, since they spent most of their lives under Hitler. This movie was chosen to show the necessity of Resistance against injustice.
