I may be mistaken but I don't recall any other movie dealing with the subject of what German children experienced when nazis were in power there and promoted skewed ideas of various sorts, but especially of Jewish people. This movie not only deals with it, but does so in a way that feels true to human nature, and in ways most people wouldn't expect. They boy is very typical for a 10yr old, the mother rather brilliant in some ways, and many others of the cast are exceptional. It was a delightful, captivating, thought-provoking and exceptional movie. Time well spent.
