Storyline

Lena Katz, who is German, and David Fish, who is American, are Jews who live in New York. When Lena's mother, who arrives from Germany, meets her at a hotel, she finds an almost-dead woman lying on the hotel floor. She accompanies the injured woman to the hospital and meets David, who is the woman's son. After David's mother dies from the injuries, a question remains: was she murdered? The trail leads to Germany. Apparently, Lena's mother has some kind of relationship with David's mother that reaches back into the dark German history of the 1940s.

great, complex story
29 March 1999 | by (Berlin) – See all my reviews

This film has one of the most complex stories I have ever seen. Some films could be easily shortened to the half. This movie is very different, there is stuff enough for two or three movies in it. Every time you think you could not be surprised, the whole story takes another direction. And in the end you are informed the story is actually true.

Very good play, very good cuts. Very good actors. I enjoyed every minute.
