The story

The film depicts the upbringing of a German boy, Hans, under the Nazi regime. After his birth, his parents are required to prove their Aryan ancestry to a state official, who approves his name and symbolically enrolls him in service to the state. As Hans grows, he is exposed to propaganda that reshapes traditional stories and ideals to glorify Adolf Hitler and Nazi ideology.
