El deshielo

Great acting performance of the young Eva and in fact of other (Flemish) actors. Good rhythm, starting slow and nice and building up to a thrilling end.

The movie is following more or less the storyline of the book although the book is more descriptive and can be recommended as well.

At the end of the movie the theatre was very quiet (although there were quite some spectators) showing the emotional effect of the movie ... I would recommend this excellent movie to all people and especially parents. The movie shows the importance to grow up in a safe and warm environment and how you family can have an impact on the rest of your life. The general theme of the movie is very universal and unfortunately also recognisable.
