Oorlogswinter (Winter in Wartime)

[*TIMMIE*]

This is a marveleous movie is set in the last Dutch winter of WWII. This winter was extremely cold, and people litterally died of the hunger. This movie is based on the the book Oorlogswinter, which is a semi-autobiography of writer Jan Terlouw.

Synopsis from IMDB:
This is the story of Michiel, a 14 year old boy living in a small town in the Netherlands. It's winter 1944/1945 and he thinks that war is quite exiting. He is very interested in joining the underground movement but does not know how. This all changes when a good friend ask him to deliver a letter for him if 'things' should go wrong. As of that moment Michiel finds out that war isn't that exiting. He struggles with trust and choices and finds out that war is no fun at all. He is thrown into adulthood in a very short time. I think this movie is very good. It has a very good atmosphere which was wonderfully done by director Martin Koolhoven.
