Film Reviews by CC

Having read the book it was difficult to imagine how this could be filmed whilst preserving both the horror and the black humour of this true story.    Although having to leave out quite a bit of the history  it managed to keep the essentials:  to tell the shocking experiences of these women during the fall of Berlin to the Red Army but to end on an uplifting note.  

Loved this gentle and heartwarming film which nonetheless tackled problems of broken families, relationships and trying to maintain family and traditional values in the modern world.
