Impressive told true WWII story

The atmosphere, the music... You are taken into the story from start to finish. How those mayors struggled during WWII, which the community had no knowledge of. Was someone really an NSB member or did he secretly work for the resistance?

And what choice do you make? Do you cooperate safely or resist? And where do you draw the line, knowing that everything has consequences.

The price for freedom has been payed.

Realizing this was a true story makes it all the more impressive!

And just like that other film where you already know the ending (Titanic), this film manages to captivate you from start to finish.
