A lot of movies we watch leave us with a question mark ending; it's what we call a French Ending. This one left us with two. Performances were all pretty good. Scenes a little too dark, but they suited the story line.
Ending was contrived, but consistent with Sigrid's behavior; i.e. clandestine location for new residence. My wife's theory on the second baby was that she had had wins, and left one behind when leaving . My theory, given her obsessive behavior, is that she obtained a second infant (maybe adoption) and swapped him to Lorenco for Henrik. Whichever happened, the Lawyer is legally bound to report her findings and bring Sigrid before authorities. DNA's will finally tell the real story.
CONTRIVED, but INTERESTING. I'm so surprised at the overall rejection of my fellow commenters. T'was a Shame!
