To live, she must trust someone she was taught to hate and face the darkness within herself.

This tense and unrelentingly gripping movie is a very good bet for local and international directing, technical and acting awards. SCREEN A lyrical, deeply affecting study into a rarely seen legacy of the Holocaust. Lore s spellbinding visuals and prickly subject, coupled with a preternaturally mature performance by newcomer Saskia Rosendahl in the title role, should lure discerning arthouse audiences.
