Convertible
by Åshild Norun
Description
It's 1967, and a young Norwegian family leaves Norway for California, looking for opportunity and the free and easy lifestyle. The young immigrants settle in a nice house in the suburb. The couple both find jobs, and the twin girls go to school. Dad buys a convertible, just like mom always wanted. She invites her three siblings for a Christmas visit. Two of them stay on, and the younger sister finds an American boyfriend. Every one wants a piece of the American pie, but the price gradually dawns on the blue-eyed immigrants, as they discover simmering racial divides and unrest over the Vietnam war, and watch the terrifying assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. and Robert Kennedy on the nightly news. The American dream is bittersweet.
