An engaging, wryly humorous film about the exploits of Holocaust survivors living in migrant limbo in post-war Germany. Set in 1946 Frankfort, director Sam Garbaski pulls us into the lives of David Bermann and friends, as they balance hopes for a bright future against memories of the camps, and hatch a plan to reach America.
Based on real characters, Bye Bye Germany offers a multi-threaded plot and major twist at the end, rewarding the viewer with an entertaining and ultimately uplifting experience. The Jews who remained in Germany after the war have been largely overlooked onscreen, giving this dramedy a unique and rarely seen narrative freshness and historical importance.
