Absolutely stunning movie! Really good acting, these children are haunting me for days now.
Children who have been liberated from a concentration camp are left at in an abandoned palace in a forest without food and water. But the real nightmare starts when the house is besieged by hungry wild dogs that were used to guard the nazi camp.
When the nazis liberated the concentration camp inmates just ahead of the wave of victorious allies there were all kinds of prisoners who stayed behind. Not only had they lost touch with the world after so long an incarceration, but their very homes were gone, their families were gone. With no one and no home to go to it's no wonder so many stayed, and that includes little children down to babies, and...the dogs. The gestapo dogs. The very dogs that have been trained to go for the throat.
Very very beautiful cinematography and explains the characteristics of post-war psychological behaviour . Beautifully captures the horror of man eater dogs and explains the divine quality of mercy even to one's enemies.
Not the horror you think it is. Dealing with young children rescued from a concentration camp by the Russian forces at the end of WW2. Taken to a country house with limited food and water. Their situation deteriorates dramatically when they find themselves surrounded by vicious guard dogs from the very death camp they escaped from. Part Lord of the Flies, part Cujo, the tradegy of their existence is brought home time and time again - be it fighting for a simple potato peeling, or the stories they tell of the sights they witnessed. The struggle here is for them to hold on to the slender thread of humanity they still have within them, or decent into a vicious existence, that matches the dogs that threaten them.
The underlying meaning in this film is the actual truth of humanity n not like Lord Of...
The premise is a bit similar, in fact even more harsher than Lord Of...
Children r saved from a Nazi concentration camp but they encounter hunger, thirst and dogs in a hostile war ravaged environment.
The best part is the acting n the child actors nailed it. The film does have some brutal n dark scenes, lil suspense n heart pounding tension.
The actual truth about humanity: v aint fighters, bt lovers. Our internal default is 2 work 2gethr. Despite everything, humanity is actually decent - Rutger Bregman.
