Appreciate the art of cinema? Join us to watch and then discuss a foreign film led by members of Geneva's International Cultural Exchange Committee (ICEC). This month's selection is The Crossing (Norway), originally titled Glukten over grensen. This film tells the story of the adventurous 10-year-old Gerda and her brother Otto, whose parents are in the Norwegian resistance movement during World War II. One day, just before Christmas in 1942, Gerda and Otto's parents are arrested, leaving the siblings on their own. Following the arrest, they discover two Jewish children, Sarah and Daniel, hidden in a secret cupboard in their basement at home. It is now up to Gerda and Otto to finish what their parents started: to help Sarah and Daniel flee from the Nazis cross the border to neutral Sweden and reunite them with their parents. Released in 2020. NR. Running time 1hr 36min.
