Alain E @AlainE 01/16/2025 Retains the attention of the viewer for the whole duration. It refers to an episode of Dutch history that obviously is unknown to outsiders. In 1953 there was a KLM flight from London to Auckland that succeeded in breaking a speed record. On board were several Dutch citizens who aimed to immigrate to New Zealand, often starting families in arranged marriages. The movie follows three girls and one man. Early on, decades later, the man dies and there is a reunion at his funeral. There are many flashbacks during the course of the narrative, very easy to follow. Overall the situations described do not appear exaggerated. I have two objections: there is an unwanted pregnancy and the single mother gives the child to her married friend who cannot have children. The adoption is to remain secret. The biological mother is Jewish. Years later gives to the child a Menorah. Hello? How you explain this? And a sex scene acted in a way that no regular people have intercourse. Overall we care about the protagonists and want to follow their life events.

See more 11/30/2014 I saw the trailer a while back and wasn't sure I would ever see this movie. But I'm glad I did. It was a wonderful story line, excellent, well-developed characters and quite a few unexpected outcomes. Worth seeing at least once.
