Norway isn't an area that our home knows a great deal about, so it was surprising that some of their folk during WW2 actually supported Nazi Germany. I would suggest it unlikely that 1 young female would go through so much on her own. However, this pulls no punches as to how difficult is was for any jewish person living in Norwegian society during the war. In this case, we have a young girl hiding out in on a farm, the lead actress doing a very good job with her part. The ending is, perhaps, a surprise and possibly unlikely. Perhaps you will take a serious look at this movie which tells one story of a young womans struggle without any involvement of "Hollywood", it has a "no holds barred" approach to some of the realities of war. Nazi Germany had much to answer for.

Flat storyline
Seldom watch a movie almost no peak. History movie be treated will be better. For acting perspective, I didn't think it is impressive. Just a scary little woman by all time and she didn't get my attention at all.
You don't name pigs on a sausage farm.
Esther (Sarah-Sofie Boussnina) is a Jew in a small town in Norway. She aspires to be an actress as her family plans to leave for America. In 1942 the Germans take over the town and purge it of Jews. Esther escapes to a rural farm and now must play the role of her life. She must now be a pork eating gentile boy who supports Germany and hates Jews. Two people on the farm know her true identity. People do what they must to survive.
This is a fair period drama. Not a war film per se. Has slow moving scenes.
Guide: No swearing, sex, or nudity.
