This quite an incredible Norwegian movie with English subtitles that I saw tonight on Netflix.
The plot revolves around the fall of the Berlin Wall and East Germany in 1990 and the Lebensborn program. The Nazi Lebensborn program was intended to produce an Aryan “master race," many of them fathered by members of the German armed forces. Once these women gave birth in occupied Norway, their children were often taken from them and reared in special orphanages in Germany. After World War II, the taint of Nazism caused the mothers and the Lebensborn children remaining in Norway to face harsh discrimination.
The East German Stasi smuggled agents into Norway posing as the Lebensborn children, adopting real lives in order to spy on Norway. The plot focuses on one agent who has taken the life of a Lebensborn child and how the fall of East Germany threatens to destroy the life and family she has created.
Quite highly recommended.
