Synopsis: During WWII, a ragtag band of refugees from Germany crosses into Switzerland seeking shelter. The owner of a small inn takes them in with the provision that they pose as a family in order to escape suspicion and deportation, as refugee families with children under six were allowed to maintain asylum in Switzerland during the war. The group includes a child who speaks only French, while its adults are all German-speakers. Can the boy be made to understand the gravity of maintaining his silence as he holds their fate in his small hands? Riveting and suspenseful to the last minute, The Boat Is Full's powerful story of rescue and redemption was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film.
