Full Plot Details

Semi-retired university professor David Winters and his wife and former student Melanie Winters née Lansing live on a hobby farm in the Eastern Townships of Quebec with their adult son Benjamin Winters and Benjamin's son, Timothy Winters. Their life is not totally harmonious due to David's chronic infidelity and Melanie's emotional instability, a result in large part of her growing up which she refuses to speak of to Benjamin, who knows nothing of his mother's childhood directly from her. Melanie has been institutionalized many times in her life and is on medication to deal with her mental issues. Melanie's passion in life is to follow many cases of political oppression in the world, this passion again due to her past life. In September 1985, Melanie, through this work, reconnects with Jakob Bronski who she knew during World War II when she was only a teenager when they were both interred at Drancy, a transit station outside of Paris where the government, in cooperation with the Nazis, housed Jews before they were sent to a concentration camp. An adult when they were interred, Jakob, a poet, has just been released from a Russian psychiatric hospital where he has lived for most of his life for killing a guard. Against David's wishes, Melanie asks Jakob to come and stay with them for as long as he wants. Along with Jakob comes Christopher Lewis, who was also interred at Drancy when he was a teenager, his internment despite not being Jewish himself. The three formed a special bond during their stay at Drancy. Jakob and Christopher's visit opens up a flood of emotions for Melanie about her past with the two people she considers the closest to blood relations and how it led to where she is today. But it also brings into light the Winters family dynamic as especially Benjamin learns more about his mother's life.

Movie Reviews

User Review - 8/10 by Michael OGorgeous movie that showcases the lush, serene tapestry of rural Canada, which serve as a contrasting backdrop for two children torn apart by war only to reunite decades later as adults to reveal the complex layers of a bond seared together in the camps of the 3rd Reich.
User Review - 6/10 by blanky aA nice sophomore effort that fairly successfully trudges over well-trodden territory.
User Review - 6/10 by SV GSo I wanted this movie to be good but it's not as good as i hoped. I will never understand what people went through during that time period and I assume there are horrible memories of being torn apart from the people you love, but when Susan Sarandon's character started making out with Gabriel Byrne's character I was like no. I think Christopher Plummer's character said it best when he said, "Do we have to be tortured or dead before we matter?" I think that questions raises a good point.
User Review - 6/10 by Simon FDark and poignant movie with a lot off into the distance. Some curious history of which I was unaware and some lush landscapes of an otherwise unknown eastern Canada. Some good acting for ones who are good at staring into the distance with pained faces.
User Review - 6/10 by Danielle MNice film set in Canada, I liek movies that are like that these days. Nice setting, incredible cast. However it doesn't go much further than that sadly.
User Review - 6/10 by Tessa RVery well done, just not a storyline that intrigues me.
User Review - 4/10 by Karen Pmmmm watching paint dry comes to mind. Average.
User Review - 2/10 by Veronica ASusan Sarandon como siempre inmejorable...será que es una actriz que me encanta..pero la historia, y el reparto daban para hacer un peliculón. Buena.
