like the undercurrent of anger between the Danish and the Swedes: one actively resisted the Nazis, the other did not (it's been awhile since I saw this film so it may have been Norwegians and Danes, or Swedes and Norwegians, or...).
Follow Ups:
The observer was Swedish, the host Norwegian. Norway was occupied by Germany and was basically its ally (albeit a reluctant one), Sweden remained neutral. However, to be fair to both, their respected status was not as much result of their own actions, but more of the German decision. Hitler invaded Norway, planned to invade Sweden, but never gotten to it.I thought that history played only a very minor role in the film though. The focal point was of course the people, and the two main actors did remarkably well.
comments at the end which threw a bit of light on the relationship, probably moreso on that of the supervisor and the observer.
