I just saw this film at a festival screening with a packed audience that was completely overwhelmed. The direction and acting were fantastic, but it was the screenplay that really impressed everyone.
It is one of those films that makes you feel so much emotion, in this case sadness and despair, that you wonder if you can handle it. Afterwards, I felt like a zombie because the feelings were so intense.
This is not a light and happy film, but one that is so powerful and important to see. Because everyone needs to know that it was not just the Jews who were persecuted during the Nazi era. Homosexuals were rounded up, tortured and killed. You have to see it to understand.
