Spielzeugland (2007)
10/10
It is strong that 'mother' and 'friendship.'
5 January 2024
'Toyland' is a drama set in Germany during World War 2. Two boys. David and Heinrich, who are good friends, play the piano together. They always practice. However, David is Jewish, so David and his family have to go to a concentration camp one day. Heinrich's mother explains why they have to leave to Heinrich. That's because they go to 'Toyland,' she says. One day, Heinrich disappears. The mother goes to the train station to look for him. I was interested in the structure of this film. This movie starts with the scene where Heinrich disappears. We are drawn into this story. Besides, we're completely glued to the expressive faces of the actors. Their eyeline tells us their feelings. Now, we are starting to forget WW2, so this movie is a good opportunity to think about wars again. This is a great short and well worth seeing.
