Campus Cinema: Two Lives (Feature Film)

Movie Screening

Szene aus dem Film „Zwei Leben“

For 20 years, Katrine (Juliane Köhler) has been living a seemingly happy life in Norway. But with the fall of the Berlin Wall, her world begins to crumble. For Katrine is not who she claims to be: once infiltrated as a Stasi agent, she has built her entire existence on a false identity. As Katrine tries to hide her past, she becomes entangled ever deeper in a web of lies. Her double life becomes an acute threat—both to her family’s happiness and to the Stasi officers who once directed her. A gripping drama about identity and the fragility of a life lived in lies.
