"A revelation...fresh, purposeful and surprising at every turn." - Janet Maslin, The New York Times
During World War II, a ragtag band of refugees from Germany sneaks into Switzerland seeking asylum. The owner of a small inn agrees to allow the refugees to stay if they pose as a family. Yet a single refugee may unwittingly expose the deception...a young boy who speaks only French, alone among a group of adults who speak only German. Can the boy be made to understand the gravity of maintaining his silence as he holds the group's fate in his small hands?
Riveting and suspenseful to the last minute, The Boat Is Full, a powerful story of rescue and redemption, earned an Academy Award® nomination for Best Foreign Language Film (1981).
