The story is interesting, but there are a number of problems. I don't have any idea why this movie jumps back and forth in the timeline; it doesn't help the plot at all. Anyway, there is a bigger problem -- the dubbing in English. It isn't a problem with matching lip movements, it's a problem with the some of the voice actors, especially the old lady. Her voice is almost comical. Her inflections are so bad that I'd bet a theatre audience would break out laughing. The other problem is the dubbing sound. When you dub a voice for an actor who is outside, you'd expect the voice to sound like it's outside, not like the voice was recorded in a studio. All the voices sound that way; close mic'd in an anechoic chamber. It was bad enough that I was tempted to switch to the Austrian language track and turn on English subtitles, the only problem was, English subtitles were not available.
