Bride Flight Page #4

Synopsis: 1953, a flood adding to the aftermath of World War II swells the numbers of Dutch emigrants. On a KLM flight to New Zealand, part of a race from London, Frank, who lost his family and colonial estate in the Japanese occupation and Indonesian civil war of Independence, meets some virtual mail order brides. Ada van Holland becomes his lover before confessing she's already married by proxy to gloomy Calvinist Derk. Jewish concentration camp survivor Esther dodges her engagement for a fashion career and discretely has her boy Bobby adopted by infertile Marjorie, who did everything else right with husband Hans. Over the years, some of their paths cross again, all survivors meet at Frank's funeral.

Nothing. You're making a great mistake.

Don't be so incredibly stupid.

Stay. You're doing so well.

You'll regret it for the rest of your life.

I'm going.

- The rest of your life.

All the best.

Do you want to know who his father is?

Hans. I am his mother

and Hans is his father.

Have children of your own.

Ada.

- Mozie.

So much for all my trouble.

I have Jewish descendants.

I might just as well have kept my child.

I could hardly forbid him

to marry a Jewish girl.

Esther?

Esther...

Do you think we did the right thing?

Go on.

I don't know. Ever since Hans died...

He suddenly started to say things...

Do you think we should tell him?

If it makes you feel better...

- Not for my sake. For his.

Would he be better off knowing?

You know him. You're his mother.

What would we be saddling him with?

With deceit. Oh and a dead family too,

thrown in for free.

Perhaps we didn't do the right thing.

Why should he pay the price?

That's for us to deal with.

Shall we leave things as they are?

Yes, let's do that.
