About the film

In the turmoil of the Thirty Years' War, a mysterious soldier arrives in a remote Protestant village, claiming to be the rightful heir to a long-abandoned estate. The community is wary of the stranger with the scarred face. His devout pursuit of recognition and belonging is complicated by a dark secret: he has assumed a false identity, another name and even another gender to enter the village. Beneath the deception is Rose (Sandra Hüller), who will stop at nothing to achieve her aims—and fool an entire village.
