In the wake of the Thirty Years' War, a soldier named Rose arrives in an isolated Protestant village claiming rights to a derelict estate. Despite presenting documentation, Rose meets only suspicion from wary locals and attempts integration through increasingly desperate measures, including courting Suzanna, a farmer's daughter. Yet Rose's existence rests on fabrication: an assumed name, forged papers, and a hidden truth about identity that threatens to unravel everything.
In Rose, Schleinzer's rigorous approach to filmmaking meets Hüller's formidable screen presence. A stark and devastating meditation on belonging, survival and reinvention at all costs.
