Author: rbverhoef (rbverhoef@hotmail.com) from The Hague, Netherlands

This is a beautiful Dutch movie. It is about two twin-sisters, around six years old, separated in 1926 because their real parents are dead. One of them (Lotte) lives in The Netherlands, she has a good and rich life. The other (Anna) lives in Nazi-Germany with Germans who do not take good care of her. They want to reach each other but the 'parents' make sure that does not happen.

In the beginning of the movie we switch from 1926 to the present a couple of times. Two old ladies in a Spa meet. The Dutch one is called Lotte and doesn't want to speak with the German one, Anna. What has happened? The movie shows us what happened. It is a sad story, a beautiful story as well. It could have been a very true story.

The lead actresses are great. Thekla Reuten and Nadja Uhl make sure that the sisters are lovely characters, you will like both of them and you feel sorry for both of them. They play the sisters when they are around 25 years old. The little girls playing the twins when they are six years old are amazing and lovely too. As the old ladies they are very touching. It is just beautiful.

With the perfect cast and its nice acting, a fine direction, a great cinematography and a very beautiful score this is one of the best Dutch films I have seen. I loved it and it is definitely worth watching it.
