It is 1943, and the German army—ravaged and demoralised—is hastily retreating from the Russian front. In the midst of the madness, conflict brews between the aristocratic yet ultimately pusillanimous Captain Stransky and the courageous Corporal Steiner. Stransky is the only man who believes that the Third Reich is still vastly superior to the Russian army. However, within his pompous persona lies a quivering coward who longs for the Iron Cross so that he can return to Berlin a hero. Steiner, on the other hand is cynical, defiantly non-conformist and more concerned with the safety of his own men rather than the horde of military decorations offered to him by his superiors.

I hate the idea that animation’s for kids; just because it’s animated doesn’t mean that it’s some silly cartoon and shouldn’t be taken seriously.
This comedy brings a big surprise to Josh and his family when they move to New York City and struggle to adapt to their new friend.
Ditch the lube and get to the point in the raw, honest, cheeky dramedy written and directed by Mark Schwab.
This film is a splendid mix of mediums, but its strength lies in its simplicity and beautiful message of closeness.
