WWII drama following three musically gifted children - two Jewish siblings and a German friend - and their families, torn apart as the Nazis invade Russia.

Jewish siblings Larissa and Abrascha are virtuosos - one on piano the other on the violin. Hanna, a young German girl, is also extremely gifted. Living in the small Ukrainian town of Poltava in 1941, they are united by a passion for music. When the Nazis invade, the children’s Jewish and German families must save each other from the forces of both fascism and Communism.

"Wunderkinder (German for ‘child prodigy’) is a fictional tale of childhood friendship put to the test by the cruelty of an adult world bent on destruction. Set in the Ukraine of the early 1940s, Hanna (Mathilda Adamik) a young German girl, befriends two Russian Jews – gifted child-violinist, Abrascha (Elin Kolev), and his piano-playing friend, Larissa (Imogen Burrell). First the Bolsheviks hunt down the Germans, and Hanna and her family must hide and protect their foreign friends. Then Germany invades, the tables turn, and the Germans shield their Jewish friends from Nazi deportation to the death camps."
