Impressive movie about a Jewish boy in Poland, escaping from the Warsaw Ghetto and trying to survive by disguising as a "normal" Polish boy, encountering people who truly care and those who’d betray him. It’s based on a true story and as such (mostly) accurate. Great performance by the Tkacz twins in the leading role, along with the supporting cast. Rainer Bock as the SS officer in charge is absolutely creepy, but spares Jurek’s life in a moody decision. The turn towards the end feels a bit brutal, one would have hoped there’d be a less traumatic way to remind Jurek/Srulik who he is and allow him a more active role in deciding his future. Anyway, a really memorable movie that leaves you thinking.
