Winter in Wartime (Oorlogswinter) 2008

    The final winter of WWII in Holland, a young man becomes involved in the Dutch resistance.  Michiel and his friend discover a downed British plane in the woods, the Germans are in control of Holland and they quickly surround the scene of the crash.  Michiel's father is the Major of the town, the Germans want to know what Michiel was doing looking at the crash and who was with him? 

       
    Later, Michiel discovers the pilot hiding underground in the woods and he brings his nurse sister to help with the pilot's wounded leg.  This is becoming more involved, more people are getting shot by the Germans and somehow Michiel must get this pilot across the border to safety.

    This is good, you become really involved with the people which leads you to be on the edge of your seat rooting for them to succeed in spite of the Germans.  4*  (I really liked this movie)   

103 min, Drama directed by Martin Koolhoven with Martijn Lakemeier, Yorick van Wageningen, Jamie Campbell Bower, Melody Klaver, Raymond Thiry, Anneke Blok.
