Who is the uncredited cop in the opening scene? He looks so familiar! The opening scene is quite intense based on other episodes of this show.

Twins Lotte and Anna are separated as children, one to live with a wealthy family in Holland, the other with a poor farmer in Germany. When the girls are in their early twenties WWII begins and the sisters find themselves on opposite sides of the war. Because of this, the sisters to not speak until they meet again as adults, where they discover that although their life experiences have been vastly different, there are similarities.

This film is important as it shows how families are torn apart by war and ideology. The sisters loose touch with each other because each has been indoctrinated with different positions on WWII. Overall, it's an excellent film which shows the personal side of WWII.

The dialog is in both Dutch and German, which makes it interesting for speakers of those languages. English subtitles are available on the US version of the DVD
