This movie is one of the worst German movies I have ever watched -- all of the characters are emotionless (the children literally do not cry when they are dropped off in Poland), the father is naive and an idiot, and the stepmother is a terrible person whose storyline is never solved. Nobody in the film is likable at all. I think the director was a bit weird -- the film has child nudity for a shot and children are put in uncomfortable sexual situations -- sex pops up randomly all over the film. Beyond dropping the kids off in the countryside, the story does not retell Hansel and Gretel well at all. Horrible film -- do not recommend.
