Storyline

This story, based on fact, is about the movement of Danish Jews out of Denmark to neutral Sweden in the 1940's. It focuses on a single family and tells of their involvement with the underground and of their own, initially reluctant, participation in sabotaging a munitions plant, and of the daughter's affection for one of the movements leaders.—BOB STEBBINS



Short Review

This film has all the hallmarks of a made-for-TV movie: poor lighting, low-budget soundtrack, episodic structure, decent but underwhelming performances. If it had been, it wouldn't have been made for prime time. It's pleasant and mildly pleasing -- somewhat like paisley wallpaper or floral-print socks. Watch it or don't. You won't remember the next day whether you did or didn't.
