Regardless of the importance of the issues this series sheds light on, the way this is made just ruins the plot. Actual dialogues and scenes are replaced with a weird acid-trip-like production. I get the point that the creators want to replicate the feeling of being lost and out of control, but end the end result just counts for a feeling of "get to the point". The reversing of the episodes is also just annoying, and does not contribute to anything. The only positive note here is the importance of the topic.

This movie is one which is well worth watching, if only for the historical value. The dramatization of the deportation of norwegian jews during WW2 is done in a respectfull, and good manner, and the historical context is well in behold during the entire film. The actors vary in impressiveness, where the main role, carried out by Jakob Ofterbro, is by far the best of the lot. Although the movie is an emotionally strong and important, it is carried by the assumption that most people know the historical background, which might be true, but it results in the fact that the plots main focus is on the individuals expreience. This would not have been an issue if the dialogues and scenes had not been generelly quite poor. The story lacks peaks, but rather builds slowly up to the inevitable tragedy.

In conclusion this movie one where the respect of the victims come first, and is a good watch, but no blockbuster.
