Two Lives
2012 · 97 MIN · IMDB 7.1 · 3,291 VOTES · DIR. Georg Maas
Overview
Europe 1990, the Berlin wall has just crumbled: Katrine, raised in East Germany, but now living in Norway for the last 20 years, is a “war child”; the result of a love relationship between a Norwegian woman and a German occupation soldier during World War II. She enjoys a happy family life with her mother, her husband, daughter and granddaughter. But when a lawyer asks her and her mother to witness in a trial against the Norwegian state on behalf of the war children, she resists. Gradually, a web of concealments and secrets is unveiled, until Katrine is finally stripped of everything, and her loved ones are forced to take a stand: What carries more weight, the life they have lived together, or the lie it is based on?

00:06:31 She's making up for lost sleep.
00:09:26 Hi.
00:13:18 You're one of the children the Nazis sent to an orphanage in Sachsen?
00:16:53 They didn't like the fact that we were together.
00:19:44 - I did it. I wanted to. - What?
00:22:38 First you will live with your mother and learn the language.
00:26:51 Good day.
00:30:21 You must stay in hiding and get home as fast as possible.
00:33:51 I wanted to see how it's changed since the wall came down.
00:36:58 Here, mother-in-law.
00:39:34 The Stasi were everywhere.
00:44:16 Mom...
00:46:47 Why?
00:49:26 I said, "Of course! Otherwise I wouldn't have fled!"
00:52:14 - So you were in contact with the Stasi? - No!
00:55:20 Unless...
01:00:09 And my family?
01:04:07 That much I've figured out.
01:07:00 I mean...
01:11:06 You never talk about it because you never lived in an orphanage!
01:15:36 You're more involved than you think.
01:20:13 I knew she'd come.
01:23:27 Fuck!
