I am still not sure about that. Anna decides to give Nina away, but it seems like she wanted to give Johan away, first... since she was surprised about the visitors, she didn't have much time to consider and decide. But still, she thought about it for at least a few seconds.

Somehow, I think she wanted to keep NIna and just mixed the two kids up, because she dresses them both as girls - to make the neighbours think she has only one daughter. Daughter! It wouldn't make much sense if she tried to keep Johan and had to dress him up as a girl forever.

Maybe she decided to keep the girl because she somehow thought about her lost sister and wanted to protect the girl because of her?! Or maybe she thought Johan would be the stronger one and thus be able to revenge her better than Nina?

Also, I think it is an important moment in Johan's life when he realized their mother was choosing one of them over the other one. That's why his trust in her shattered and he feels like he was unwanted - I guess he also noticed it when he had to dress up as Nina and maybe even got called Nina (that's why he says "you are me and I am you"). Nina, at the same time, didn't really realize that their mother wanted to keep her, I guess. The things she experienced were cruel and mabye her memories about her mother faded..

That's my opinion - what do you think?
