(Germany, 2023, 121 minutes) Historical Drama

In extraordinary times, betrayal becomes ordinary. During wartime Berlin, some Jews found ways to evade Nazi round-ups, living surreptitious lives through guile and chutzpah. But standing in the eye of the storm had its risks. This powerful film is based on the true story of Stella Goldschlag, a young German Jew who became a “catcher” for the Gestapo. Stella explores how one can transform from survivor to snitch; a portrait of how ordinary souls become corrupted by dark circumstances. With award-winning actress Paula Beer as Stella, this beautifully filmed account of complexity and loyalty will stimulate audience discussions as few films have.
