After watching a movie, "Tsirk", that featured Jewish actors executed, it was nice to see a more positive spirit towards the chosen people. The movie, which features a Red soldier go into hiding during Civil War to have a child, is noticeable for the sympathetic depiction of the Jewish family that takes her into their home. Likewise the female officer is at once a tough, professional, militant figure who naturally takes on maternal duties when she feels her child's life is in danger.
Of all the scenes in the movie the one featuring the daughter on the swing stood out. We see these children being so cruel to her as she calls out for an absent mother, and we in the audience understand helplessness. The fact that it is drawn out so long only makes us want to comfort her more.
A very real, painful movie that features an ending so shocking that I did not believe that it was really over.
