Synopsis

An amazing true story of a German Jewish teen in WWII who pretends to be Aryan to escape the Nazis. The young star's penis has a major plot role so we get to see many naked and near-naked shots of the lovely and chiseled Marco Hofschneider.

3 Reasons To buy this film

The very compelling story of a young German Jew who pretends to be Aryan to escape the Nazis
He does this by stretching his foreskin back in an attempt to look uncircumcised.
And guess what, that means we get perfect clear shots of the young, pretty and very naked Marco Hofschneider

Review

A brilliant mix of gut-wrenching drama and dark humor, Europa, Europa is based on the harrowing true story of Solomon Perel, a Jewish teenager who miraculously survived the war by passing himself off as Aryan; so well, in fact, that he unwittingly wound up as one of Hitler's Nazi Youth.

The film features Hofschneider, a bee-stung-lipped beauty set adrift in a historical tide of events beyond his control, desperately clinging to his identity while at the same time having to forsake it. During his ordeal, in which the enterprising youth must pose as an Ayran, he is in constant vigil not to have anyone see his "cut" penis, a sure sign of his Jewishness.

On the prurient side, we are treated to many naked and near-naked shots of the chiseled lad. There's a gay subplot too, involving an older German solder who falls in love with Solomon although he sees that he is Jewish. The gay soldier keeps the secret to his death.

A Piece of Work You Won't Forget

This movie is absolutely astounding. It had me from the opening scene to the very last credit. The story is incredible and to realize that it really happened is all the more amazing. The acting is oscar quality. This movie is an absolute must see for everyone. I purchased this movie and plan to watch it with my children when they get a little older and discuss all of the various issues that this move addresses. Do not cheat yourselves and pass on this movie. Get it. You won't regret it.
