Rating: 10/10 (14 September 2006)

The movie is about a Jewish woman named Rachel Stein who is working in a school in Israel in 1956. An old friend from the war, that is on holidays bumps into her. The movie then goes back to 1944 Holland, where her war story is retold.
Rachel trying to escape with her family, from the Germans, witnesses her family gunned down, as their boat runs into a German patrol boat. Being the lone survivor, she decides to join a Dutch resistance group. As a few members of the resistance group are captured, Rachel becomes a spy and lover of one of the German generals, in order to save her fellow resistance members. While staying at the German HQ's in Holland, she sees the person in charge of the slaughter of her family, and a lot of twists start to occur, as she starts to find out that her parents death was more than just an accidental run in with a German patrol boat.
I just came back from the TIFF screening. This movie was really good. The story was really well put together, and I would have to say that this is one of the best movies I have seen at the TIFF ever. This movie just rocked! I hope this comes out on DVD, I definitely will pick it up if it does come out. This is one of those movies that you will think about for days after watching it. There were so many twists in this movie. The movie is about 2 1/2 hrs, but I was into the movie the whole time.
