DE_TWEELING

In 1926 Germany, twin sisters Anna and Lotte Bamberg are separated after their parents' deaths. Anna stays in Germany with her ignorant Catholic uncle and aunt on their small property; Lotte contracts tuberculosis and moves to Holland. Anna works on the farm and isn't sent to school; Lotte is raised by an upper-class family who makes sure she gets a good education. The sisters have no contact with each other, but they meet up briefly before the World War II years. Later Anna marries a young SS officer and Lotte gets engaged to a Jewish musician. Their lives follow different and opposite paths with the war, but Anna never gives up hoping that they will be in each other's lives again.
