Jojo is given the nickname Rabbit when he refuses to kill a rabbit at a Nazi youth camp at the behest of older boys.
While the Führer acts goofily and gives Jojo pep talks, his rants become increasingly fanatic as the film progresses, standing for the protagonist's rising awareness about what Nazism truly means. Jojo Betzler (Roman Griffin Davis), a ten-year-old boy obsessed with Aryan lineage and SS ideology, has Hitler (Taika Waititi) as his imaginary friend. Growing up, children often have imaginary friends. Could the dynamics of the film have been different if it was set during the heady days when Hitler was winning everything?

As the adventure unfolds, the boys learn that the bonds of family are the most valuable riches of all, and that some family secrets can’t stay buried forever. Sinister forces also search for the money and will stop at nothing to keep the boys from their quest.
