This should have won awards.
The cinematography is superb. The acting is brilliant. The story compelling. And very close to the events.
Why has this not won any major awards is beyond me.
The futility of war is there for all to see.
Took me back to my childhood surviving the civil war in Lebanon and the close encounters with death and when my school was shelled.
The movie felt real, it transported me/you to 1945. I for sure will check out the director and the rest of the casts work as it it was sublime.
The final running scene got me, got a bit of "Run lola run" but with the hammer of emotions.
Bravo to all for making this.

Wow. Whoa
I have never submitted a review on anything. But this film! Once I was able to get over the dubbing (I hate anything where the mouths don't match the audio) I was sucked in. An amazing film. I cried. Unfortunately it shows what really happens during wars/invasions. This film is so enlightening and heartbreaking at the same time. Highly recommend.
