Tense drama, 30 January 2000
7/10
Author: helpless_dancer from Broken Bow, Oklahoma

Well played out drama about victims of torture trying to put their lives together again with the help of a psychiatrist, herself a former victim of the Nazis. This was a shocking tale with some very upsetting scenes, with a surprising and dramatic ending.
