World War 2 .. or rather the behind the scenes of everyday life before the mayhem started. Sort of - and with a lot of different individuals and characters to keep us occupied. Many scenes and a lot of German (original language of the movie is polish) being spoken too. Which makes sense of course and I didn't mind, understanding it all.
Stories are decent enough and you will care about most people/individuals overall. Drama is there and some will cherish how this was made more than others. It is very well made for sure, the acting is good too. I understand if some rate it higher just because they feel this deserves more than it currently has here on imdb. On the other hand some others will be bored .. because pacing wise it won't be for everyone.
