To liv (Two Lives)[1][2] is a Norwegian war film from 1946 directed by Titus Vibe-Müller.[3][4] The film is based on the play To liv by Finn Bø.[5]
Plot
[edit]Nordgård is no longer able to work as a lawyer during the German occupation of Norway, and he therefore tries to earn money by translating books. The family has rented out a room in their villa to a man named Klaus Thun, and the family's daughter Wenche soon becomes romantically interested in him. However, the family's son, Lars Nordgård, is arrested by the Gestapo when he tries to cross over to Sweden. The family soon discovers that Lars is dead, and his father learns that Klaus Thun is an informer for the Germans and may have been responsible for their son's arrest and murder. However, soon after, Wenche says that she plans to marry Thun, and that she is already pregnant with his child. Wenche does not believe her parents when they claim that Thun is an informer.[6]
