In 1942, in a small town in Occupied Slovakia, the Germans were presiding over the construction of a huge wooden monument, but the local carpenter Tonydid not care about it, and his wife's nagging had troubled him enough. After Tony's sister married an officer, Tony's life changed a lot. Tony also borrowed her brother-in-law's rights to receive a letter of approval and the ownership of a Jewish shop on the street. The owner is a 78-year-old Jewish widow Lauterman, deaf and dizzy. When Tony was entangled with her, he discovered that the shop had empty shells, and there was not much goods. However, taking care of Lauterman could be paid by Jewish organizations, so he concealed his wife’s help in the shop, but claimed to the outside world I am the store manager. Soon, the Germans began to take the Jews into custody and transport them to concentration camps. Tony wanted to hide Lauterman, but he was experiencing great suffering in his heart. Outside the shop, the Jews set off under the monument. Inside the shop, Tony faced an unknown old woman with wine to soothe his sorrows. He wanted to stop Lauterman from going out to close the shop, but he knocked her down by mistake. Lauterman died. Tony was so desperate that he ended his life with a rope

why? Why did the drunk throw his kind grandma to death? Do you want to commit suicide? I thought it would be the heart-warming ending of Schindler's kind of salvation, but later apparently the director felt that it was not true, so the style of painting was reversed 360 degrees and good people hurt each other, the so-called realistic ending. As grandma said, fear is the root of all evil, and this is the footnote of all tragedies.

I felt that compared with most Jewish-World War II films, there is nothing particularly good in the front. The male lead is very hard, and I like the dreamy Czech at the end!
