"Walk on Water" (ללכת על המים) is an Israeli movie that is in Hebrew, German and English. It is a very dramatic movie that has numerous themes in it. The focal theme shows how young Israelis and Germans deal with their past (especially the latter.)
Lior Ashkenazi is the Israeli and Caroline Peters and Knut Berger are the Germans. All of them did a good job and worked well together.
I like that the movie does not place any blame on the young generations of Germans born after the war (since they had absolutely nothing to do with anything as they weren't even alive back then.) It does show the importance of continuing to bring the Nazis to justice despite their age or health. One aspect of German society that was also looked at is the generation that were very young during the war, but helped hide the Nazis afterwards. Those people are just as guilty for aiding the Nazis as the murderers themselves and should also be sent to jail.
