ALONE IN BERLIN

Drama Based on the 1947 novel Every Man Dies Alone by Hans Fallada and directed by Vincent Pérez, this true story of courage unfolds against the volatile backdrop of 1940s Berlin. Otto and Anna Quangel (Brendan Gleeson and Emma Thompson) are an ordinary working-class couple doing their best to get through the war. But when their only son is killed in battle, this all changes and Otto and Anna, in their own way, become part of the German Resistance. They channel their rage and grief into making postcards emblazoned with anti-Nazi slogans, which they distribute. But this seemingly small act of subversion comes at a cost.
