Perdona nuestras ofensas

This is a nice short film. No doubt about. Solid acting from Talbot, the child isn't given much to work with, but it's ok. Let's just not talk about the "officer". Overacted and satirical. But that was to be expected.

From a technical standpoint: Very nice. Professional camerawork, ambient lighting and solid sound design.

But why is this on Netflix?

It has big team backing it (compared to other shorts), ok. But that's not a reason to put in on Netflix whereas lots of better shorts are for free on YouTube. Why this one in particular?

Then again, why was this topic chosen? Weird decision to have the characters speak English, clichéd class room scene, which exists in like 3 other movies (for example the exceptional 'Napola') and the Officer is a joke.

Good for a short, overall. But then again, this probably isn't your usual 3k $ student project.

During or even before the second world war, the Nazi regime targeted people it deemed lesser. With Aryans allegedly and supposedly being superior to others (be it religious beliefs, skin color or simply race). One group that gets almost forgotten, are the physically disabled. Like the protagonist in this short movie.

A short movie that is very well done and that shows how cruel and mad people got back then. Tension filled and really tight, I would not be surprised if this wins (or has won by the time you read this) awards. Short and while maybe not so sweet (subject matter), this checks all the "right" boxes. Nothing to forgive here ...

This captured a moment of time in history that we should forever remember. When we hear about WW2, we think about Hitler, concentration camps, millions of jews murdered in masses, etc. The suffering of the disabled are equally important and should not be swept under the rug. Their suffering should not be invalidated. Any group discriminated against reside in the same category of suffering of war.

This short was well directed, the actors were excellent, and the cinematography was smoothly done. The story was interesting and compellingly. We need more promotions for films like this. Films with educational value.

Fair and precise remind of a less familiar aspect of Nazi Germany policy about its citizens.

A young woman, teacher. Her son, disabled, is one of her students. One day, the menace against boy. And his survive .

At first sight, holes and a too short / concentred story. But the powerful, impressive and pleasant work of young Knox Gibson is the great gift of this short film about childhood in a different light.

The short film shows us the suffering of the disabled because the Nazi viewed them as being garbage that waste money and resources. I didn't know before that the disabled German adults and children had suffered the persecution, too. The film is well done with beautiful cinematography, good performance, great location and setting and costume, and the story was told in a way that kept our interest all the way through, routing for the boy to survive. It is perfectly titled, if we think about how human trespassed against each other so much at that time in the history. Heaven must have wept bitterly back then. I hope similar thing won't return in another form to our present time.
