It had me interested throughout though: the way the children processed their situation in different ways; the train smoke rising in the background of various scenes; the proud mother-in-law slowly realising what’s happening over the wall; the Oranienburg ball feeling like a sickening reflection of where a lurch right in certain democracies could…
