who saw the movie, read this pls ?


my copy of this movie finished in the 114. minute. But in here it's runtime is 126 min. And mine finished when old Lilly and Ilse were going to have their lunches. Did i miss a lot? Did they tell what exactly happened to Felice ? And why did Lilly made a mistake by visiting her at the camp ?

you're missing just a few paragraphs of info that state that felice probably died on one of the long, infamous death marches. then a short scene where felice is with her girlfriends and lilly playing poker on the table. they're all smoking and taking pictures. and felice is asked what she wants from life, or something along those lines. felice says she wants "now" and "now" and "now". she wants time to stop at that moment when she is happy.

lilly made the mistake of visiting felice at the camp because it was then known where felice was, so they would move felice elsewhere, endangering her life. ilse said that so long as she remains there she might have a chance, at the location where she was prior to lilly's visit. and the visit was fruitless because she wasn't allowed to see felice and it put her further in harms way.

the camp in question was Theresienstadt ... which was a showcase ghetto ... and midpoint to the Polish death camps. When you were moved out of Theresienstadt you most likely went Auschwitz. Theresienstadt was in present day Czech.
