Euthanasia

Fredrick is one hundred and eleven years of age and the last survivor of Hitler’s holocaust. Hidden away, for it is illegal for a man of his age to live in this future of enforced Euthanasia, he is asked by his great-granddaughter, Christina, to write his memoires. In this world without history, Fredrick is the last voice to remain. Claire is a curious child in an ignorant world. Torn by her mother's demands to conform to society and her natural desire to explore, she soon climbs into the garden of the house next door. There she meets Fredrick, knee deep in the vegetable patch that he grows to sustain himself. He quickly realises that to save the girl from her future, he will have to teach her of his past. Then begins an intertwined story of ignorance, love and loss, driven along by one simple truth; That humanity, as in Hitler's Germany, can be controlled but can never truly die.
