Fair and believable, the authenticity flows through this story as if the viewer was taken back in time. The range of attitudes represented by all the characters crosses the spectrum that's seems both realistic and comprehensive. Honour and duty despite the volatility and horror. Universality of this ethos remarkable as it captures the human spirit at it's best and worst. Specifically the journey for both Male and Female archetypes and the mutual respect garnered leaves the viewer encouraged and hopeful.
