Foreign Movie Review: TWO LIVES (2012) A


Another movie about the effects of WWII on the innocents.  Definitely watchable but not memorable.

From Netflix: 
It's 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 and the horror of her deportation to Germany (by the Germans) as an infant.

She enjoys a happy family life with her mother, her husband, daughter and granddaughter. But when a lawyer asks her and her mother to become a witness in a trial against the Norwegian state on behalf of the war children, she resists. Gradually, a web of concealment's and secrets are unveiled.
