Sanctuary (German: Freistatt) is a 2015 German drama film directed by Marc Brummund. It was one of eight films shortlisted by Germany to be their submission for the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film at the 88th Academy Awards, but it lost out to Labyrinth of Lies.

Synopsis

Au coeur de l'été 1968, il souffle un vent de liberté sur Osnabrück, dans le Nord de l'Allemagne. Wolfgang, 14 ans, poussé par cet esprit de révolte, répond par l'insolence à l'éducation stricte prodiguée par sa mère et son beau-père. Ceux-ci décident de le placer dans un internat religieux pour jeunes garçons difficiles. Wolfgang découvre ainsi la vie de caserne sous couvert d'éducation religieuse, faite de portes fermées à clé, de barreaux aux fenêtres, de châtiments corporels et de travaux dans une tourbière. Les durs conflits entre les pensionnaires s'ajoutent aux brimades des frères. Loin d'étouffer la volonté d'émancipation du jeune homme, ce quotidien exacerbe sa révolte contre l'ordre établi et contre les adultes.

In 1942, Friedrich Weimer's (Max Riemelt) boxing skills earn him an appointment to a National Political Academy (NaPolA), a high school that serves as an entry to the Nazi elite. His father, a career factory worker who despises the Nazis, flatly refuses to allow Friedrich to enroll. Friedrich, who sees the school as his ticket to university and a better life, forges his father's signature on the permission form and leaves during the night. He makes his way to the town of Allenstein, where the school is located, getting a ride from passing cars or trucks when possible and walking the rest of the way. Friedrich's forged papers are overlooked when he arrives, and he is greatly impressed in his first day at Allenstein.

Marc Borgman (Koffler), a young police officer, is on a training course for the riot control unit. He is struggling at the police academy, being somewhat behind his peers in his physical training. Cocky and self-assured, Marc does not initially get along with his roommate at the academy, Kay Engel (Riemelt). They have a physical confrontation during a training exercise, but afterwards Marc apologizes for his aggressive behavior and they become friends. The two begin jogging together regularly, and during one jog, Kay kisses Marc as they share a cigarette, though he tells him that it was merely a joke. A surprised Marc is reluctant to jog again, but on Kay's insistence he goes on a run alone; Kay catches up to him. Despite Marc's initial rebuffs, Kay kisses him and gives him a handjob. Though Marc initially accepts the advances, he is overcome with confusion and runs away. Though he tries to avoid Kay, the latter is transferred into his police unit to fill a vacancy and Marc finds it difficult to ignore him. Eventually Kay shows up with a colleague to a bowling alley where Marc and his family are having a game, and is introduced to Bettina, Marc's pregnant longtime girlfriend; Bettina has just moved with Marc to a house near Marc's parents in order to start their family.

1944. Varsovie est sous domination nazie. Le 1er août, alors que les troupes soviétiques se rapprochent, la ville entière se soulève : c'est l'insurrection. La jeunesse polonaise rejoint alors les rangs de la Résistance, la fleur au fusil, pour ce qu'elle pense être un combat gagné d'avance qui ne devrait guère excéder trois jours. Parmi les révolutionnaires se trouvent Stefan et sa bande, issus pour la plupart de la bourgeoise varsovienne : ils sont inexpérimentés, idéalistes et candides. Comme tant d'autres jeunes, ils rêvent de liberté et d'héroïsme. L'horreur de la guerre leur réserve un destin beaucoup plus tragique.
