Left Luggage

A heartbreaking, poignant, well-acted 1998 film in which a feisty Belgian philosophy student (Laura Fraser) learns about her heritage and to appreciate her parents (Maximilian Schell and Marianne Sägebrecht) after reluctantly accepting a job as a nanny in 1972 for a Hasidic Jewish couple (Isabella Rossellini and Jeroen Krabbé) with five children in Antwerp and forms a special bond with their autistic, 4-year-old redheaded son (Adam Monty) who refuses to speak, while her father obsesses with finding two suitcases that he buried before being sent to the concentration camps.
