This drama takes place in a single room, a place at first of playfulness and mounting sexual tension, and then very skillfully the film's dialog shifts to confront the viewer with a complex and tense emotional situation that lays bare the awful choices that a young mother has had to face in the holocaust of Nazi Berlin's final days. Steven Lang's performance as a tenacious police detective is totally unexpected for those who saw him as the wonderfully tyrannical Colonel in Avatar. Niki Aycock endowed her character with such a sweep of emotional scope that it could well have required therapy after the shoot. Jordan Belfi's role is that of a reactor to the duel taking place between Lang an Aycock and he handles it seamlessly.It is reassuring that true art can still be produced on a budget when an intelligent script and sensitive direction give fine actors a platform. Superb, instinctive acting is accomplished by the three person cast. A thought provoking and engaging film.
