Plot 411: The true story of how love can sustain you despite unimaginable hardships that you may face.
Review: This documentary was definitely compelling and emotional. It's the story of two lovers, Jack and Ina, who meet in Nazi-occupied Holland during WWII. Jack, who was already unhappily married to Manja, fell instantly in love with the beautiful Ina. However, in addition to already being married, Jack was poor and Ina was from a rich, diamond-manufacturing family. When all three of them are herded to concentration camps, they are confronted with the reality of death and illness. Despite this and Manja's protests, Jack and Ina's love does not die. Instead, it grows through letter writing. They wrote to each other in secret, expressing their love and fears. In these quiet moments that are stolen minutes of fantasy from the harsh reality that was their lives, they are able to find comfort and even hope for a better future.
