Katrine, raised in East Germany, but living in Norway for the last 20 years, is a “war child”—the result of a romance between a Norwegian woman and a German soldier during World War II. When she and her mother are asked to testify in a trial against the Norwegian state, a web of secrecy is unveiled.

A dark chapter of history that connects Norway with Nazi Germany unexpectedly resurfaces in the everyday life of a woman whose identity hides disturbing secrets. With excellent performances from Juliane Köhler and Liv Ullmann, this unusual espionage thriller is both eye-opening and stirring.
