Descrição
Near the end of World War II, the Wilhelm Gustloff was converted from a Nazi cruise ship to a rescue vessel for German refugees.
When it was torpedoed by a Russian submarine, 9000 people died in what became the greatest maritime disaster of the 20th century.
Journalist Paul Pokriefke was born as his mother was rescued from the sinking ship. As he examines the history of the Gustloff, Pokriefke attempts to understand his own history, his mother's life, and his estrangement from his ultra-nationalist son.
