I missed the beginning of the movie. The first thing I saw in the past was the kids being separated from the mothers. The first thing I saw in the present was the journalist telling her husband she is pregnant. What happened before this? Thanks in advance for your help.
I have not seen this movie, but Wikipedia has a long synopsis.
In the present, the wiki article pretty much covers it, but to add a bit more to the past story… (It’s been a while since I’ve seen it, but I think it’s close enough)
The authorities show up to take the family. The father is out and Sarah says her brother is with the father after she locks him in the hidden closet. She tells him to stay quiet and she’ll be back. The father returns (alone, obviously) while the authorities are there and the family is arrested, leaving the boy.
They are then imprisoned in the sports stadium (under horrible conditions) and meet a woman who is planning to escape. Sarah starts to give her the key to the closet and tell her to get the brother, but the father stops her (I think he’s afraid of getting into trouble by talking to her?? Not sure.) They see the woman make it far enough out and the father then tries to run to give her the key and tell her where the boy is, but doesn’t make it before she escapes.
They are then transferred and soon after the children are separated from the mothers.
Heart wrenching movie.
A belated thanks to the replyers, in case you see this.
