This movie is deeply emotional and moving. Depicting a moral fight of Tono, an average citizen. Tono finds himself in an internal struggle between the moral right and evil. The last hour of the movie is full of pain, hatred, terror and psychological suffering of the Slovak citizen during the times of Jewish deportation. It's so real that it makes you live through the struggle Tono faces. Should he save the old Jewish lady or not? It's surely one of the best, if not the best, Slovak movies ever made. P.S. To all those thinking this is a Czech movie, it's not. It's more Slovak than you'd think. Of course at the time it was CzechoSlovak cinematography. But actors in this movie are Slovak and the language is Slovak. :)
