The story

Esther Albertsen’s story begins in a quiet Norwegian town just before the Second World War turns her life upside down. At first, the German soldiers arrive with smiles and reassurances that “things would only get better,” but those promises quickly fade into the sound of gunfire, curfews, and fear. Esther, a young girl practicing for a school play, clings to the words of Lady Macbeth as she repeats, “make thick my blood,” hoping that strength in Shakespeare might help her face the growing tension around her.
