Movie Haiku:Australia''''s candidate for Best Foreign Language Film Oscar is a dark WWII tale about a teenager (Rosendahl) who must get her 4 younger sibs to safety after their parents are arrested. Starts strong with a terrific performance by Lardi as a mother more devote to Hitler than her own family, but intensity dissipates as the kids wander thru the barren post-war landscape.
