A movie that would be welcome on DVD if it isn't out already.
The movie captures the harsh, anti-humanity of the Nazi movement, the illogic of their hatred, and the beastliness of their thug-like behaviour to intimidate opposition.
You get to know these two girls and then ache when adult jealousies and adult attitudes try to separate them. Lise's father and brother are motivated by hatred, Inge's mother and father are motivated by fear and concern for their daughter. All the while, the two girls bear up under the illogical division that's trying to spoil their special friendship.
In the end, did Lise's father succeed in spoiling it? It could have been anything else.
