6/10
A semi confused piece of fine storytelling.

Warning: Spoilers
Well, about time a movie came out with some information about what happened to women who had willing or unwilling relationships with the Germans in Norway! NO, this is not it. The plot is split in two, yet only one gets an ending. The story about betraying ones country to save a child is very catching, moving, realistic but the ending is unsuccessfull at portraying the truth. Many of the women who slept/cooperated with the germans were actually relocated TO Germany after the war. Thrown out from their own country. And the other story, about a brave soldier got it's happy ending. What I gathered from this is that as long as you kill the bad guys or save your son by killing the good guys you live happily ever after. In reality this was not the case. Both husband and wife would most likely have suffered a tragic faith, one killed by the Germans and the other sent away to Germany or being made an outcast for the rest of her life. Her son would suffer the same faith as countless Norwegians still hold these stupid grudges till this day.
