A second life after the Nazi horror

This movie gives a good idea of how it must be when your parents lived the Nazi horror but desperately want to bury the memory of it and want "the best" for you as a child. I found the movie longish at times and the ending somewhat simplistic, but the relations between the members of this family are often thought-provoking. A good flick overall. I rate it 7 out of 10.
