Before long, the unusual arrangement intensifies political divides and stirs deep personal wounds. In this increasingly charged environment, enmity and grief giveway to unexpected passion and betrayal.
My Thoughts
This is a really great film centering around a woman named Rachel who is helping with recover effort shortly after World War II. Her husband is a colonel and she meets up with him to help rebuild. With limited space, they wind up sharing a home with a German man and his daughter who is damaged from the rigors of war. Rachel soon finds herself drawn to both men.
This is a great movie that brings up a forbidden love story, but also delves in the psychological affects many people suffered at the end of the war. Emotions run high throughout the film. It's a historically accurate film with stunning costumes and backdrops as well as a phenomenal cast. This is the type of film which is sure to be a classic people will watch over and over again. You can grab a copy in store nationwide or online at Amazon.
