One of my favorite movies of all times. We used to rent it from a Bible book store. Then it became unavailable anywhere. I actually contacted the producer to try to buy a copy. She said the movie had been removed from any further production, but she had a limited number of personal copies. She sent us one of her VHS copies. We have loaned it out a few times, but still have it. Recently I searched for a DVD version of the movie and stumbled onto one. It was produced from an original VHS. Also the entire movie is on YouTube in German version.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.
