Two twin sisters Lothe and Anna, born in prewar Germany (1920) are separated at the age of eight when there last parent and father dies. Because the Dutch and German relatives "themselves are already at war", both the children grow up in a totally different environment, different language, -parents, -family and -friends. The one's poisoned by the anti-, the other by the pro German news and propaganda, we watch these beautiful children grow and both their life's being build on what they go through, what they see, what they hear and there conclusions about that. "Accidentilly" they finally meet on "neutral ground" the flashbacks make you love them both and understand both the women and the choices they've made. As older woman, Anna says it beautifully simple "if we as sisters cannot solve this problem, who can?" and as she is dying to hear her sisters forgiveness, she gets both.
