Every year on May 4, the Dutch commemorate the victims of World War II and those who have fallen in conflicts or peace missions since 1945. In this quietly affecting documentary, Honigmann follows diverse individuals through the day of remembrance, assembling fragments of stories and unearthing the conflicted emotions of those who remember-a survivor of a Japanese prison camp, the daughter of a Nazi collaborator, a Hungarian refugee-and those who cannot, including a teenager for whom the war is almost beyond imagining. As an interviewer Honigmann is engaged but not intrusive, coaxing out important reflections but allowing others to remain unspoken; “I don't want to talk about it” becomes a familiar refrain. On this day, a speaker at a memorial ceremony declares, “we are free to be silent.” The strains of Mozart's Requiem following the titular two minutes say as much as any words.
