It has everything - multiple story lines, tragedies, humour... And it's simply interesting to watch. Even secondary characters here are perfect - one can see *soul* in everyone. The storyline is not trivial. Strategical factory should be evacuated. We are being shown how destinies of those working on the factory and their families are being broken. And yet - they have no choice, but to live. As one widow in the movie proclaimed: "They wonder why I don't cry... If only nazi could drown in my tears - I would cry round the clock. But they won't. So I have no choice, but to work round the clock."If only I can find the movie, I will definitely purchase it.
