From Hilde with Love

This captivating historical drama spotlights the life of Hilde Coppi, a heroine of the anti-Nazi resistance.

Berlin, 1942: When heavily pregnant Hilde is detained by the Gestapo, she denies accusations that she aided her lover Hans in transcribing coded transmissions from Moscow. But it seems there’s more evidence against her than she anticipated, given that Hans and many other activists involved in their group, the Red Orchestra, have also been arrested. As Hilde awaits her fate, she reminisces about her involvement with Hans and the start of their joyful romance.

Anchored by an extraordinary performance from Liv Lisa Fries as Coppi, a person driven by an innate of sense of decency and morality, Dresen’s deeply humanistic film is an affecting portrait of love at a time of desperate danger and oppression.
