Winter in Wartime

Set in German occupied Holland just before the end of WWII, this Dutch film focuses on 14-year-old Michiel and his involvement with an injured British pilot, who his uncle is hiding in the forest.

Desperate to take a stand against the Nazis, Michiel risks his life and that of his family to save the pilot and help him escape. Inevitably he gets himself into a dangerous and dark hole so deep that it seems he will never get out.

This emotionally charged film is an absolute nail-biter that is not only beautifully shot, but beautifully acted and produced too. Definitely worth seeing.

Rating: 4 outta 5.
