The German Film Office is pleased to present the award-winning feature film The Path as part of its popular “Kids Kino” series.
Recommended for children 8 years old and above.
Pursued by the Nazis for his critical articles, German journalist Ludwig and his 12-year-old son, Rolf, are stranded in Marseilles. Their goal is to travel to New York and reunite with Rolf’s mother. The only way to freedom is a steep path leading through the Pyrenees to Spain, and Núria, a Catalan girl, is tasked with guiding them. When Ludwig gets caught en route, Rolf, Núria, and Adi, Rolf’s dog, are on their own. The two children must stick together and rely on each other—and the generosity of others—to make it through. Inspired by Lisa Fittko’s memoir Escape through the Pyrenees, the film blends a light touch and suspense to show a young audience what it means when children must flee war and persecution.
"[The Path] offers a non-rosy, believable ideal of a world where children can take responsibility for their own actions and still survive."— Vassilis Kroustallis, Film is a Fine Affair
The Path won the 2022 German Film Award for Best Children’s Film, among others.
