"This story of a family that endured the horrors of life in a concentration camp is haunting. The acting was amazing, conveying heartbreak, yet finding some small hope to cling onto in the most inhumane conditions. English, German, Italian audio."

"This is a beautiful story, incredible movie and shows you how a father tries to protect a child’s innocence by pretending and acting like nothing is wrong while trying to survive and live in a horrid concentration camp. "

"Such an amazing movie. There’s no need for separate universes or cartoon animals, this is real. And I think that’s what makes it so hauntingly beautiful. I am so grateful to have seen this film, and I genuinely think about it all the time. If you haven’t seen it, go watch it right now - in the original version with subtitles (same deal as anime, always watch a show in the original version for the best experience). Make sure you have tissues."
