During WWII, those who were 'wrong' could sometimes take that (family) secret to the grave. Until now. Monique (56), mother of the documentary maker Lisa Hukker, can finally investigate the precise background of her tainted surname after a change in the law, now that the Central Archive for Special Jurisdiction is open. In this intimate documentary, mother and daughter confront the truth head-on. What do they discover about the NSB past of their (great) grandfather? Will they, as descendants, be judged again for the actions of an ancestor, eighty years later?
