This movie is based on the true events that took place in one of the most renowned Auschwitz prisoners Primo Levi. More specifically, it is the last book of his experiences, whereby this book starts at the moment that Auschwitz is liberated, i.e. As end of january 1945. It describes his experiences he had during his travels in the soviet liberated part of the former Nazi empire.
Note: for the people that have never heard of "Is this a Man" - which describes his experiences in Auschwitz - one of the most impressive books that I have ever read.
With great acting and stunning scenes it is an altogether convincing image of how the situation may have been in the period up to the end of the war. It does not show the continuous women abuse that was ongoing during those times, but it shows that hunger and food were a day to day battle.
Overall, this movie deserves a score of 7.4 / 10, resulting in a very well earnt 7 star IMDb rating. I am personally surprised by the fact that this movie is not more known.
