This revenge and anger of losing their son build up the broken relationship between them and the commitment bring the love back to their life. Otto gets arrested because the cards mistakenly fall at work. Escherich, who have handicapped them, collects all the postcards of hundreds of people and shoots himself. The cards are seen falling and swaying on the streets of Berlin.

Star Performance

The stars have put up a good performance but since the movie is a real story, the performances by the actors can be unreal too at some point.

Analysis

Vincent Perez (III) has done an excellent job with the storyline because it's hard to present a true story in such an enthralling manner.

What’s there?

1. Unity and Love between the couples willingly supporting each other in every up and down.

2. Visualisation effects are good in the movie.

What’s not there?

1. Hitler’s character could have performed by a stronger performer.

Verdict

The movie is all about faith, love, unity, and trust. So, one must watch it.
