Warning: Spoilers
If you don't mind reading subtitles and you also enjoy a realist ending, this film will do.

The main character, Aida says "I did my very best" and if you had been a teenage Jewish girl taken from your family (and never saw them again) and sent into servitude -you would have made some painful decisions along life's roads, as Aida did.

I found Shep's understanding toward a his mother to be very touching. The new found joy between long lost brothers to brought tears to the eyes. Shep's story seems like it could be a movie in its own right.

Izak appeared to truly struggle with the unknowns of his story. Just when he thinks he knows and has found peace it slips from his fingers. I can understand how it could leave him feeling like unfinished puzzle. Some of his pieces he seemed to have thrown out-with his adoptive brother and sister and the bitterness he showed towards them. I hope he will let them be part of his unknown history and find peace with what he does know.
