A Masterpiece!
All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
My recommendation from bottom of my heart. Bitter-sweet real life stories about real life people. I cried and smiled and laughed...with feeling of deep respect.Thank you dear Adriana on sharing your family history in such easy and positive way even in quite difficult segments (like conz. camp)!

Quite simply, a fascinating story unfolds before us; how a German / Jewish family from Zagreb dealt with ... well, essentially the 20.th century. The Nazis, the Italians, the Ustasha, Tito's communists. It is one of the accolades of the book and later the movie to shed some light on the story of Jewish persecution in Croatia during the German occupation. Adriana Altara's biographical book was already a bestseller, but the movie makes the many aspects of the story much more colourful and easier to grasp. To her credit, she pulls no punches and doesn't hold back, for example, about the fact that her father and pillar of his parish managed to fit several affairs into his busy schedule, or the fact that her parents more or less deported her to boarding school so that they could invest more time in their professional ambitions. This helps the plot to stay grounded, otherwise the story of the parents who started out as partisans in Jugoslavia and both had brilliant careers in Germany might have been too much to stomach.
