- The movie starts out with an empty bed, and a mother in disarray, taking the viewer on a immediate search hovering with and about as if in a dream. Flashbacks not just adorned, but add meaning and color to the story, so in the end it's almost or already that the present itself becomes secondary and is a story made up to tell by a German citizen to the Gestapo, the world or anyone who likes to hear to rescue the Jewish boy from the train.—anne
