The trailer of the movie Witness

I think this film is about a child who witnesses a crime scene in the toilet. 

There is a policeman who investigates the murder, and he needs the child to find the culprit.

I think I have understood that the mother and the child are menbers of the Amish community and the policeman goes with them for his investigation. He meets the family of the woman but I don't think that he is very appreciated by them, certainly because he isn't an Amish. 

During the time when the policeman lives with the witness's mother he falls in love with her, and an old man, I don't know who ( maybe the woman's father), is very angry. At the end, I think that the policeman finds the murderer because the child shows a photo of the black man who was in the toilet, and he kisses the woman.

I expect to view a kind of film which would be a mixture of romance with suspense, and with two parallel stories. But I don't think it would have a lot of action except at the beginning. The atmosphere looks quiet and it isn't the usual detective movies's atmosphere. However it can be a good movie to learn things about the Amish community, and according to me it's a very good thing, even if it isn't the authentic reality.
