Answer: Berlin

The family was based in the German capital city of Berlin. The family move to the countryside but the movie does not state a name for the area. Bruno and Gretel are not happy about having to move because they will have to leave their friends behind. The house in Berlin is a lovely large mansion.

6. Where is the father of Lieutenant Kotler living?
