Run Time:
90 minutes
Gerda is a ten-year-old Norwegian girl with a very big imagination. With her apron-cape and a wooden sword, Gerda spends her days acting out the adventures of Porthos and “The Three Musketeers,” annoying her brother Otto in the process. But when her parents are arrested by German soldiers for hiding Jewish children, Gerda embarks on her own heroic adventure—not as Porthos, but as herself. With her parents gone, it is up to Gerda to help young Sarah and Daniel hide from the Nazis and escape into unoccupied Sweden. Otto, who has been misled into sympathizing with the Nazis, begrudgingly joins his sister on her quest to save their new friends and proves himself to be a hero in his own right. As the four children journey across the Norwegian wilderness, they face many dangers along the way. But when they stick together, they discover they can overcome them all. An incredible story of friendship, bravery, and doing what’s right, THE CROSSING is a compelling film the whole family can enjoy. (In Norwegian with subtitles) — G.S.
