Based on the 1949 children's novel of the same name by Erich Kästner, who also provided the screenplay and narration, Two Times Lotte is a faithful adaptation of the book compared to Disney's better known version released eleven years later.

Plot

edit

As with the novel, the film follows the story of Luise Palfy and Lotte Körner, identical twin girls who were separated at two-and-a-half-years-old when their parents, Ludwig Palfy and Luiselotte Körner, divorced and split them up. Reuniting at a German all-girls' summer camp six-and-a-half years later, the two sisters switch places to be with the parents they were parted from.
