    Intriguing and well-constructed
    The film documents the story of Misha and the people it impacted. The documentary then pulls away the layers of truth and deception and reveals the shocking motives Misha may have had for telling her tale.

    I'm left with perhaps more sympathy for Misha than the filmmakers. Her childhood taught her social cruelty, that people could label you and punish you based on a narrative. Why then, would she feel any guilt over controlling her own narrative and benefitting from it? The cruelty that she endured as a war orphan did not teach her empathy; she learned that people would only sympathize with her if the narrative was right. A Holocaust survivor calls Misha "villain and victim;" the film, perhaps, fails to mention the real wolves of the story: the Belgians who judged an orphan by events out of her control and taught her to lie to avoid public humiliation.
