The 2018 film “Where Hands Touch” is about a girl who grows up during the Second World War. She is the child of a German mother and an African father and therefore has to fight for her survival in Germany. She falls in love with a boy from the Hitler Youth, who impregnates her. However, as she was supposed to be sterilized, she had to conceal her pregnancy. Even when she is sent to a labor camp. The boy from the Hitler Youth is stationed in the same labor camp and tries to escape with her after a bomb attack by the Americans. However, the escape fails because the boy's father kills him and the girl is returned to her family.
