Our defence is a goddamn joke.

We have cars, but no fuel.

On the other hand we have ammunition, but no guns, so...

Have you heard anything about the Jews in Norway?

We helped a Jewish family cross the border yesterday.

With two children.

They told us that all the Jews are being rounded up...

...and then deported to Germany.

All of them.

Sometimes I think the best for me

and Isak would be to go to America.

This was stuck on our door this morning.

Jew bastard, go home!

- Every day it's like this.

But I don't know...

It's Olga.

She wouldn't be able to come with me.

The doctors at the sanatorium strongly oppose it.

But on the other hand...

They say the Swedish Secret Police

are compiling lists of all the Jews.

Half Jews, quarter Jews...

Why?

If the Germans come here, they can

use the list... for bargaining.

I told you so, Erik.

We have to talk to Inga again.

Excuse us.

We've been through this before...

- You said she burned the letter.

- I want to make sure she did.

I'm on leave for two days and you

want me to get up there for a letter?

I'm a shark and you are a

tasty little squid... I'll eat you!

It's the first time ever squid and shark play together!

Hey squid, let's swim a mile said the shark with a smile.

Ruben!

Coffee's ready.

I'm sorry if I...

said something stupid.

If there's anything I could do to help...

I'm sorry. Thank you for dinner.

It's Simon.

We don't know what to do...

Simon's my cousin Inga's son.

She couldn't take care of him.

She met a man one summer-

She didn't understand she was pregnant...

until she was about to give birth.

- He suddenly disappeared.

- She panicked.

I told her it was going to be fine.

That we would take care of the child.

He was a music teacher at a school across the lake.

He was German.

Jewish.

Have you told Simon?

We will...

When the time has come and the war's ended.

Attention!

Shoulder! Rifle!

Back off!

Nazis, go home!

- Nazi bastards, go away!

- Go home!

Scheiss Jude!

- Good morning boys.

- Good morning, sir.

Scheiss Jude!

Lentov, the cap!

Little brat...

Scheiss Jude! Hit him!

Lentov!

Larsson!

Stop!

No! I don't want to!

Father, help me!

My trousers! No, no!

- Calm down, Isak. Calm down!

- Let me go!

Something happened to Isak five years ago.

The Nazi's had closed down our

bookstore... so I went to Sweden.

Isak and Olga stayed in Berlin.

Olga had one of her nervous breakdowns.

Isak was terrified and hid under the piano.

He was only four years old.

My father came.

But he gave the boy a beating.

Then Isak sneaked out...

...without his shoes.

He wanted to find me.

They were five SA soldiers.
