Rose

In the aftermath of the Thirty Years' War, a figure appearing to be a male soldier arrives in a small Protestant village and claims to be the long-lost heir of a local estate. What follows is a slow, precise unravelling — of identity, of power, of the village's willingness to believe what it needs to believe. Sandra Hüller delivers a performance of extraordinary control in Markus Schleinzer's third feature, a film inspired by the many documented cases of women who lived as men across European history.
