Jakob Beer: [narrating] I did not witness the most important events in my life. My deepest story must be told by a blind man, from behind a wall, from underground.

Featured review
I won a pair of tickets to this film, not knowing much about it - what a lucky win it turned out to be.
War is a terrible thing and often tortures the remaining years for its survivors. For a child, of course, war's awful memories impact without the luxury of maturity and this story is but one among millions. But the story is told well and says something good about the human condition.
The film is beautifully shot and the locations are a treat for the eyes. The actors are each plausible in their roles and perform well. The story is very moving - take some tissues! Perhaps a little slow moving for some and perhaps a touch too long, it is nevertheless a very good film.
