ANNA & JENNY

A Jewish woman marries a Norwegian man and gives birth to

a boy and places the child in an orphanage home in southern

Norway under an assumed name when Germany invades

Norway in 1940. She and her husband then join the Norwegian

resistance movement. Near the end of the war, her husband is

shot and dies, and she is put in an institution when she has a

mental breakdown. The boy then comes a ward of the state and is

adopted by an American couple when he is 10, along with a 1year

old girl. He lives a life of privilege in Cairo, Egypt and elsewhere

in the Middle East, where his adopted father is the Middle East

representative for an American bank. His life though is troubled

and uncertain by the erratic, alcoholic behavior of his adopted

father to such an extent that his adopted mother takes him and

her daughter back to her family in America. When he turns 40,

he becomes curious about his biological parents and goes back

to Norway and is reunited with his mother.
