After the turbulent times of the Thirty Years’ War, a mysterious soldier appears in a remote German village, claiming to be the heir to long-abandoned lands. However, his efforts to be accepted are complicated by suspicious villagers and a secret: he arrived in the village under a false identity, posing as a member of the opposite sex. Markus Schleinzer’s visually and aurally mesmerizing historical drama wowed audiences at the Berlinale, where it won the Silver Bear for Sandra Hüller’s performance.
