Trailer

Why watch this film?

The Holocaust, seen through the lens of an unlikely yet as beautiful and innocent childhood friendship. Besides the differentiated view on one of the darkest moments of human history, it brings great performances, with a highlight for Asa Butterfield's first major role, which he would later shine in 'Hugo Cabret', and for the always competent Vera Farmiga.
