Have you considered setting her in the legendary siege of Malta by the Turkish armada dispatched by Suleiman the Magnificent in 1565?
It was the largest armada every assembled up to that point in history and the siege was far more harrowing.? It has far more opportunities, far? more possibilities for cinematic spectacle and dramatic conflict.? She could be in the thick of the fighting and a pivotal player in the outcome.?
Whereas in the WW2 siege, she seems to be a hapless victim of historical circumstances with no direct agency in determining the outcome.? All she In 1940-42? she has to take shelter and survive. Whereas in 1565 she would have had to survive — and fight back.

When her father is imprisoned, an irresponsible 18-year old motherless girl must learn how to support and raise her hyper-intelligent but OCD younger brother.
(24 words)
Awkward, but it seems to me that this is the story hook, and a logline should lead with and focus on the story hook.? By story hook I mean that it is the factor most likely to “hook” a? movie maker’s attention, make him want to read the script.
Why do I think it is the story hook?? Because it is simply the more emotionally charged story line.? Two young people must struggle together to survive in a tough world by their own wits.? “Outwit a crime syndicate into negotiating her father?s release ” — whatever that means — seems pale in comparison;? in terms of emotional engagement, I think it’s a side show.
In addition, taking care of her brother is the more compatible story line for working out her character arc.? She’s describe as “selfish, irresponsible”– character flaws she will more directly and intensely have to confront and overcome in her relationship with her brother than in any dealings with a crime syndicate. (Come to think about it, what character flaw would she have to overcome to deal with bad guys?)
