The acting of the cast is absolutely amazing. Also the scenery or what you call it, together with the costumes are also fantastic. The production has really managed to convey how difficult life was at the time for so many people. It makes you feel great full to live today. I've watched it with subtitles and I can't remember when I watched a German made movie or series, perhaps this was my first. I'm sure I'll watch many more now going forward, as this production is first class. Glad that I started to watch it, an important era for us to remember. Watching this, one hopes that history won't repeat itself... I'm surprised that I couldn't find any reviews.
