In 1936, a French boy named Pierrot must leave his Paris home to live with his aunt, Beatrix, who is a servant in a lavish household in Austria. This is no ordinary wealthy Austrian family, either--it is the home of Adolf Hitler. Pierrot adopts the German name Pieter, and finds himself becoming friends with the enigmatic Nazi leader, in spite of warnings from his aunt. Pierrot never thought there would be such consequences.
