Young Hans Luther is struggling to figure out who he is and why his father is so famous. As he struggles with his lessons and questions his Aunt Lena he begins to hear the stories about what his father has done and understand him better. Martin and Katie Luther had six children, including Hans. This is a compelling "imagining" of what life in the Luther household looked like for one of their children, and a sympathetic look at Martin Luther with an emphasis on his character as a husband and father.
