Berlin, June 1940: a grieving working-class couple struggles to process the death of their son and the lies behind the Nazi victory celebrations.

About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want a somber WWII drama about quiet rebellion and moral courage under Nazi rule; Not for you if you need action-heavy entertainment or dislike slow, heavy viewing, especially if you prefer The Aftermath or Green Zone.
Pros: gripping resistance story; superb lead performances; somber, tense mood | Cons: slow pacing for some; plausibility complaints; some find adaptation uneven
