simon and the oaks novel

I liked that it didn't take place in America or the United Kingdom because I've read a lot of stories taking place in those locations. That there is a deeper meaning in death than that the body is annihilated, that it’s about psychologically coming to an end. Gödicke is very good too as the tough love father.

The story of a half-Jewish boy growing up in Sweden during/after World War II was surprisingly gripping: there was so much human interest; so many opportunities for drama. and about the price of each human age. The film is based on the novel with the same name by Marianne Fredriksson.
