[clucking]
Rosa?
Good morning, Herta.
[sigh]
You've arrived.
Are you OK? How was the train journey?
Infinite…
[labored breathing]
What did you do? Did you take the bus at the station?
I didn't find it.
And how did you get here?
I walked.
At some point I got lost.
And then a cart stopped luckily for me.
Mm…
I'm sorry about your mother.
- Rest next to my father. - Yes.
Give me the bag, I'll give you a hand... Rosa!
Excuse me...
You have to eat.
- There's nothing left to be found in the city. - Yes.
Reggiti a me.
[Herta] Here...
Now I'll make room for you.
Here, among Gregor's things.
Did he write to you?
And you?
A month ago, when he told me to come here.
“It’s safer,” he said.
I know, you wrote it in your letter.
This is not Berlin.
[dog barks in the distance]
[Herta] On the radio they say that,
if everyone works and they will do their duty,
Germany will resist and win.
On the radio...
And Gregor will come home.
Why did they fence off the whole forest?
It's full of barbed wire and there are soldiers everywhere.
Nobody has to know.
That's the headquarters of our Führer.
So he's no longer in Berlin?
[Herta] She has been here with us for two years.
[Joseph] They destroyed half the forest.
Every now and then from here he leaves with his train.
- Then he comes back. - Yes…
When it passes you'll notice, you'll see...
We have to deliver almost all the food.
[Herta] But that's right.
It's for our Führer.
You'll have to find a job.
The men are at the front
and we women must roll up our sleeves.
I have always worked.
But there's no need for secretaries here.
What am I doing here without you?
Why don't you write anymore?
When are you arriving?
Remember you promised.
[train approaching]
[indistinct buzz]
[footsteps on the stairs]
[knocking at the door]
After you.
Rosa, there are soldiers.
- Is it because of Gregor? - They don't say it.
They're waiting for you downstairs.
Get dressed! Don't keep them waiting.
- Mrs. Rosa Sauer? - It's me.
Documents, please.
Is this my husband?
[soldier 1] Follow me.
[dog barks]
[indistinct buzz]
Where is he taking me?
Don't worry, Sauer.
Now come up, please.
[engine roar]
[door closing]
Do you know where they're taking us?
- No… - Leni, enough, stop it.
Get off.
- Heil Hitler. - Heil Hitler.
Documents? In the folder.
Down, please.
- Force. - Heil Hitler.
Don't be shy.
- All. - Come on, follow me.
- Winkler. - Nail.
[Winkler] Come on, come on in.
[soldier 3] Wait a moment, Please.
You can take off your coats.
Leni Brunner.
- Leni Brunner. - Yes?
Turn around.
All right.
Sabine Gross.
Yes.
[soldier 3] Come, please.
Wide arms.
- [soldato 3] Heike Neumann. - Yes.
- [Soldier 3] Augustine Pohler. - Yes.
Why do you visit us?
We need to make sure that you are in good health.
[Winkler] Ulla Richter.
[soldier 3] Take your seats.
Can you really eat it?
Of course. Aren't you hungry?
[soldier 3] Come on.
You sit here.
You take your seats on the other side.
Come on. Don't be shy, it's getting cold.
Mine is delicious.
Can I have some of his...
[soldier 3] You have to eat just from your plate.
Please remain seated, It is not allowed to get up.
You have to wait king.
- Why? - I should go back to my children.
[soldier 3] You have to wait at least an hour.
[woman] An hour?
- Why? - What are we waiting for?
Why don't you tell us anything?
Only in an hour will we be able to know for sure that this food is not poisoned.
How poisoned?
Who put the poison in there?
I personally cook for the Führer.
I never lose sight of food, but you can never be too sure.
This is why you were chosen.
Young and healthy German women,
for such an important task.
[muffled sobs]
- I am afraid. - [soldier 3] If you hear
something's wrong…
Please report it immediately.
-And if we do, will you save us? - Ulla, stop it.
[soldier 3] The doctor will come.
Stop! You are not allowed to put food back!
[crying and sobbing]
We ate what will the Führer eat?
[crying continues]
- Well? - Everything is fine, please proceed to notify.
You can serve lunch to the Führer.
Well, ladies, you may stand up!
You're done for now.
Will you take us home?
Come on, come on.
[broken glass]
It does not matter.
[Herta] And so they really didn't give you any news from Gregor?
No.
But why don't you want to tell us anything?
We have to taste the Führer's food,
in case he was poisoned.
[Herta] But how…
Everyday.
Lunch and dinner.
It's not possible…
You don't have to do that!
- You have to go! - Yes, but where can he go?
Is he hiding in the woods?
- Better than dying like rats! - But out there he would die of hunger and cold.
Cipagano.
They give us 200 marks.
A| month.
[Herta's surprised line]
[door slamming]
[Winkler] Come on, come on.
Each in its own place.
[door closing]
You can sit down!
You should consider yourselves lucky
in eating such delicacies.
In one of the dishes I added a special ingredient.
I'm curious to know what you think.
For the victory.
What are the chances? is it poisoned?
The same ones we have...
of losing the war.
We still risk dying every day.
[soldier 3] You can start eating.
[Winkler] You heard the lieutenant.
[door opening]
[Winkler] Everything's fine.
Then you were really good.
Did you like it?
[squeak]
[buzz]
Is it true that you are Gregor's wife?
Yes.
Do you know him?
Not me, Heike yes.
Her husband went to school with him.
Now they sent him to Russia.
Gregor too.
Are you all friends?
Yeah, well, we're all from here.
Tell me, is Augustine always like this?
[Leni] Last winter she lost her husband in the war.
\ She was left alone with Peter, her son.
Do you know what it says?
That Sabine is a fanatic.
- From the Fiihrer? - Yes.
Every year, with his sister, he sends him
a cushion embroidered with eagles and swastikas for birthday.
That's Ulla.
Ulla does what she wants.
[Rosa] And her?
- [Leni] Elfriede? - Mm.
He's been here since he lost his parents.
He lives with his uncle, Father Arnold, the pastor of our church.
[soldier 4] Are you done? Hurry up.
And you?
How long have you been married?
It's been four years.
And you don't have children?
No.
After only a month Gregor enlisted.
I only saw it again once.
How did you meet? I love love stories.
He was my boss, an engineer,
and I'm one of the secretaries.
I liked it immediately.
I was watching him secretly,
he must have noticed.
He invited me to have a coffee
and nothing…
He didn't know what to say.
Me neither.
We divided a slice of cream cake.
Think, that day I was wearing this dress.
It's beautiful.
My mother made it for me. Like many of my clothes.
- I've never seen a model like this. - She worked in a tailor's shop.
Ah, here it is.
I have one that would look good on you.
Really?
Do you want it?
Do you want to give me a dress? Really?
Maybe it brings you luck and you meet someone too.
Thanks, Rosa!
Rosa gave me a dress!
Really?
- Yes. - How lucky.
He comes from Berlin to give us alms.
I didn't give it to you.
Everyone inside. Dinner's ready.
[toilet flush]
Why are you staring at me?
Come?
Every time I turn around you're there staring at me.
Even when they took our blood.
I turned away because I can't stand it the sight of my blood.
Can you tolerate other people's?
[knocking on the door]
[Winkler] Come on, come on!
Here every day we're risking our lives, Berliner.
It's not a girls' college, it's a barracks.
Mind your own business.
Who asked you anything!
What is your favorite dish?
The sweets.
Especially the ones with apples and cream.
0 with honey.
And he's crazy about chocolate.
Me too!
He doesn't eat much
and never meat.
[Herta] Everyone knows it.
And he doesn't drink alcohol.
[Joseph] And he doesn't smoke.
Do you know why he is vegetarian?
Because he loves animals.
His dog, Biondi, she's like a daughter to him.
He must have eaten too much of it.
The Romans conquered the world eating grains, fruits and vegetables.
He said it on the radio.
Tell us.
The Führer once he visited a slaughterhouse.
And the noise of the galoshes
wallowing in fresh blood…
He never forgot it.
[Joseph] Loves animals but treats you like guinea pigs.
Today they paid us.
Paid!
Don't worry, Joseph, nothing will happen.
It's just a precaution.
[sigh]
[towards surprise]
Goodnight, my Gregor.
[radio] A Cherkasy several enemy attacks
and the attempts to cross the Dnieper, they failed.
The Soviets tried in vain
to prevent the German counterattack in the Kiev area.
Our troops won The enemy's arduous resistance,
increased successful attacks
and conquered strenuously defended cities.
At that time?
Come back for Christmas!
"And so I couldn't wait to tell you.
How are you? How are Mom and Dad?
Tell me about your days.
It's so strange knowing you're there without me.
In the end you will see that you will get used to country life.
You'll love it, I'm sure of it.
Do you make bread with your mom?
Are you helping dad in the barn?
[Rosa] "I look at your photo every day.
[Rosa and Gregor] It's all crumpled in my pocket.
You're beautiful like this too.
But when he comes back, will you give me another one?”
[Gregor] Now I'm leaving you,
Tonight is my watch, The trench is full of snow again.
I have two sweaters under my uniform.
I'll be thinking about you all the time.
I'm SO €IHOZÎOIIBÉO
to spend time with you the Christmas I grew up with.
I can't wait to kiss you,
for hours.
My rose,
don't worry about me.
Now from the whistle of the grenades I understand if they fall close to far away.
And there is one thing that is said here:
"As long as your woman loves you,
you who are welded will not die".
I love you.
Gregor.
- Where do you think you're going in that dress? - Why? Everywhere!
Don't get cold.
- When Gregor comes back we'll celebrate! - Yes!
Don't count on it too much.
The last time Hermann came back
- they called him back after three days. - Leave her alone.
- She's happy, her husband is coming back. - Oh, Leni!
For you, war is just a nuisance.
You want it to end to find a man to marry.
It is not true.
You're lucky.
Karl hasn't been back for two years.
Gregor says three.
Be proud of them.
There's nothing wrong with that to want a boyfriend.
You are right.
In normal times, perhaps. When life was normal.
So you can't want a husband?
In the end you'll be alone anyway.
Here you are...
This is all I have left of him.
They couldn't to remove it from the frozen finger.
They had to cut it.
[soldiers' shouting]
It would be the best gift eat together on Christmas Eve.
Yes.
I have to ask you a favor.
Don't tell Gregor about my work.
I want to tell him.
[clucking]
[engine roar approaching]
Gregor?
- [Joseph] Rosa! -What happened to Gregor?
Pink... Pink!
[Herta's sobs]
[footsteps on the stairs]
[Herta] Pink!
Rosa, you have to get up, they're waiting for you!
- Come on, you have to get up, come on! - I do not want.
Rosa, please, I'm here!
- I am not interested… - Sauer, we have to go!
Take me, not her!
Sauer! Get up.
I don't want to see you anymore.
- Put her shoes on. Come on! - You don't know what you're saying, sorry!
- Forgive her, she doesn't know… - Now put on her shoes.
Yes…
[soldier 1] Let's go!
[Herta] Here...
- My son is missing… Yes. - [soldier 1] Fast.
Her husband.
[soldier 1] Up! Stand up, up!
Take your coat.
- [Joseph] Yes. - Hurry up.
Prego, come out.
Come on, come on.
Let's go!
Today you have to wait here inside until the room is ready.
Husbands are there one day, then they are no longer there.
- I told you. - Leave her alone, Augustine.
In here we are all spinsters or widows.
- Did you think you were different? - [Rosa] Go to hell!
Listen to the Berliner talk.
Where has her elegance gone?
Stop it! Stop! What are you doing?
Are you crazy?
[overlapping voices and shouts]
[Winkler] Now enough!
[screams]
Do you want more?
[soldier 3] What's going on?
Stop it! This applies to you too, Winkler!
Move over.
[verses of pain]
Help her get up.
Stay here.
[soldier 3] Sauer.
Rosa, what are you doing?
Stop!
No, Sauer, he knows the rules!
Keep eating.
All!
What's the matter with you, Berliner?
[Rosa] Leave me alone, Elfriede.
You accept.
They say he's missing.
[soft crying]
But I know he's dead.
Open the door.
[lock]
I am a widow.
Augustine is right.
At least she has a son.
I wanted to be with him, that's all I wanted.
[sobs]
I hate this war.
Me too.
[sobs continue]
[chirping]
[Rosa] By dint of talking to your photo I'm going crazy.
So I thought I'd write to you.
When you come back, we will reread these lines together.
The others don't envy me anymore,
we are all the same, salt,
without men.
Herta stopped making bread.
Joseph no longer listens to the radio after dinner.
And I no longer have any joy in singing, Gregor.
Do I know?
You're still alive, right?
You are traveling in the snow to come back to me?
Herta is in town.
[sigh]
There's no tobacco to be found anymore.
It will be my turn soon smoking cabbage leaves.
[Rosa] Hitler has left.
Until he comes back, you should not eat his poisonous food.
He is not at risk of dying today.
But I don't feel alive.
Can you stop existing while you're alive?
[train approaching]
The witch also sees when will the war end?
So? What do you say?
- I see a man. - Hate!
Oh God, Leni, ask her if it's cute.
I can't see it.
It's ugly and you don't want to tell me?
The cards don't tell the whole story.
I see it's coming soon.
How soon?
German women don't smoke!
[soldier] Heil Hitler!
[Ziegler] Is that how you control them?
Forgive us, Lieutenant Ziegler.
His name?
Elfriede. Elfriede Kuhn.
[Ziegler] Tell me.
They're just some stupid cards.
They didn't tell us it was forbidden. We weren't doing anything wrong.
What's her name?
Rosa Sauer.
From now on, we do what I say.
You have an important task.
You must not let yourself go.
Bring them home.
Dinner was skipped.
At your command!
We don't need you anymore today.
- [Ziegler] Heil Hitler! - [together] Heil Hitler!
[together] Heil Hitler!
Did you hear? We're going home.
Come on, come on.
- Who is this? - Special departments.
Don't expect too much.
Don't worry.
How nice, I haven't had any visitors for a long time.
It's me, Ernst!
We have guests!
Come.
- [Ernst] Good morning! - [Leni] Hello!
Hi, I'm Rosa.
[Elfriede] Good morning.
- [Ernst] Bye, Heike. - HI.
The children are outside playing.
You came back early.
The Fiihrer gave us a free afternoon.
[Lena] It's really nice here.
Yes, come on…
Sit down.
Luckily there's Ernst.
I don't know how I would have done it with the children and the shop.
HERE YOU ARE.
I'm going to get a drink.
- [Lena] Do you want a hand? - No.
Once upon a time there was everything here.
Where do these cigarettes come from?
"German women don't smoke!"
[laughter]
Not bad, Elfriede, you almost looked like him.
[Lena] How scary.
- [Rosa] Ulla says he's married. - Poor wife…
It will be different with her.
Don't you look a bit like an actor?
[Elfriede] You find it fascinating more than a bastard?
It would have been better to leave him in Crimea.
- You were brave. - [Heike] Yes.
- I couldn't even look at him. - You surprised us, Berliner.
To our free afternoon!
- [Elfriede] Hello. - Salute!
- Hello, Ernst! - [Ernst] Salute!
[music in the distance]
[music volume increasing]
[thud]
[music from the radio]
[Soldier 3] Mrs. Sauer...
What is he doing here?
I went to the bathroom.
The bathroom is not here.
Was he spying in my office?
You're wrong, I heard this music and...
Am I the one who's wrong?
It reminded me of Berlin.
I used to go to concerts often.
I sang in a choir.
Why don't you sing us something?
Hey, sour?
Now I don't sing anymore.
Now I would like to go.
Well….
You go back to the courtyard with the others.
The husband is missing in Russia.
[thumps and sounds of effort]
[painful verse]
[panting]
[muffled moans]
[cook] He's been so nervous lately…
He doesn't sleep at night.
Before he couldn't sleep because of mosquitoes.
The forest is full of them.
They exterminated them with gasoline.
But in doing so they also eliminated the frogs.
He discovered that without their chant
he couldn't sleep anymore.
[stifled laughter]
And what did he do?
He ordered to look for frogs throughout the forest.
They put them back around the bunker.
Does he sleep better now?
Yes.
What's wrong, Heike?
I don't feel well, I don't know...
[Winkler] Is something wrong, Neumann?
Neumann.
Is something wrong with the food?
No.
[soldier 3] No?
Then you keep eating.
All!
Eat!
- [soldier] Heil Hitler! - Heil!
What's happening?
Who doesn't want to eat?
Neumann, lieutenant.
Ah, Neumann.
What's the problem?
No problem.
Eat then.
[whining]
Okay, stand up.
We don't need a taster that does not taste.
- I'm sending her to Dr. Schulte. - No!
There is no need.
- Get up! - No, I'm staying, I'm staying! I'm fine...
Then you eat.
It will be the flu, the children had it.
Still.
Enjoy your meal.
[door closing]
Yes, they said it on the radio yesterday.
- Really? - Then did you find them again?
Everything is fine.
- Yes, luckily I found them again. - Let's hope there are no surprises today.
[indistinct chatter]
[Ziegler] It must be equally favorable.
Camouflage: the works of fortification must be...
- [Elfriede] Berliner, are you enchanted? - Sauer! Kuhn. Forza!
[Ziegler] Made as planned
- and camouflaged... - [Elfriede] What were you doing?
[Herta] Are you back?
[Rosa] I'm upstairs.
[Herta] Can you give me a hand?
I arrive.
[squeak]
[bubble]
[sigh]
[sighs and groans]
[clattering of dishes]
I have to go to the bathroom.
[soldier 3] He has to finish eating first.
Hurry up. Soldier, |take me along.
Mrs. Neumann.
What he ate must stay inside.
You remember it, right?
[door closing]
If I didn't have children, I would have already thrown myself under a train.
- Who is the father? - Don't torment her, Leni.
He's so affectionate with Hanna and Fred...
I felt so alone.
Ernst?
\ And a little boy!
I KNOW.
How could I...
When Karl comes back he'll kill me!
It's killing me.
What do I do now?
There would be a way...
Are you crazy?
There is the death penalty.
The gynecologist from Rastenburg they hanged her.
Do you know anyone who would do that?
- Come on, the curfew has started... - I can do it.
Have you ever done it?
No.
But I know how to do it.
I worked in a hospital.
I know so little about you.
I only know that your name is Albert.
That you are married
and you have a B tattooed on your arm.
It's the blood type.
I don't know mine.
It will be harder to save you if I lost so much blood.
Who says I want to be saved?
Is the story of the choir true?
0 Were you lying to save yourself?
No.
At school they gave me always the solo parts.
It seems like a lifetime ago...
I was happy as a child.
I learned to read in the cemetery.
To the cemetery?
My father was the village teacher.
He made us read the writings on the tombstones.
There were big letters and numbers.
He always said:
"If you're wrong, the dead will come to punish you."
I was scared at night.
I couldn't sleep.
I thought about all those dead, the skulls, the skeletons...
[sigh]
The dead take revenge.
Sing me something beautiful.
Sing something.
[cicadas chirping]
[sings a melody]
[sings in German]
You're late.
I KNOW.
Rosa...
Last night I dreamed about Gregor.
It was alive.
He was talking to me.
He said
that if you didn't eat, I had to feed you.
Get ready, they're coming soon.
We don't have to do that.
The day after tomorrow evening.
Ernst looks after the children.
What if they find out?
[sighs of concern]
Was Gregor your first man?
Yes.
I was 21 years old.
What's it like being with a man?
Handsome...
if you love him.
He will come back.
I'm sure of it.
Ulla said it too.
Do you believe in cards?
- I can't do it. - Where are you going?
- Do you know what they'll do to us if they find out... - How disgusting!
- What? - Everything. Living like this.
[door creaking]
- The children? - They're sleeping.
Ernst is with them, don't worry.
Where do you put them?
And what if they find them?
Nobody will find them.
Stop tormenting yourself.
[train approaching]
Why did you stop being a nurse?
When my parents died,
I came to my uncle.
He needed an assistant in the parish.
Mine aren't there anymore either.
My mother died in October,
in a bombing.
Thank goodness you have your uncle.
Yes.
And your father?
A heart attack, five years ago.
He was on the street.
Maybe it's better this way, he couldn't keep quiet...
My mother was terrified that they took him away.
A friend of his was kicked out of school.
Was your father a teacher?
He taught history.
To me and my brother he held endless after-dinner lectures.
Do you have a brother?
Mm…
He embarked for America.
Six years ago.
[Leni] Come!
It's not that cold!
When he wants, he has the courage.
Why don't you ever talk about yourself?
There are more interesting topics.
And then I like to listen to you, Berliner.
I'm worse than you think.
How do you know what I think?
You don't know what you're missing.
- [Rosa] You're crazy! - You're all wet and cold!
- You're freezing! - [Leni] Oh no, it's so beautiful!
[cook] I won't be able to make certain dishes anymore.
Butter has become a luxury.
Even I have a hard time finding it.
I just have to invent new things.
A| Fiihrer liked it yesterday's delicious flan?
A| Leader?
Very!
It gave me satisfaction.
Even the strawberry cake
was a great success.
Hanna and Fred would have loved it.
They love pies.
Rosa...
- What's wrong? - I think I have to...
Sauer!
What's happening to her?
Move away, Neumann!
Elfriede too!
Soldier! Notify the lieutenant!
Stop the food delivery! Now! Don't touch them!
Don't touch it! Don't touch it, I said!
I don't want to die!
- Stay calm... - Ulla!
- [cook] Stop everything immediately! - Ulla!
They are dying!
[cry]
Silence!
State zitte!
Calm down! Whoever is well, go there!
Force!
Close the kitchen.
- Bring rags and a bucket. - Right away.
[indistinct hum of soldiers]
No one leaves this room!
[indistinct hum of soldiers]
[door closing]
Ulla...
[groans of pain]
Do you hear anything?
I am fine.
I don't know, for now yes.
A doctor…
[coughing fits]
Help...
Help us.
[labored breathing]
- We can't! - We have to do something!
Leni is right. He ordered us not to touch them.
We have to help them.
[Ziegler] Take them to the infirmary.
Start cleaning.
The kitchen staff in my office.
- Right away. - At your command.
Ulla?
Elfriede?
Elfriede!
[labored breathing]
Rosa!
Do you know alive?
Why…
Why are we here?
I do not know.
To see if we die.
Does Ulla breathe?
Come in.
Rosa! Elfriede!
- Ulla! - [soldier 3] Sit down.
Come state?
Have you notified our families?
Do you think they sent us home?
They barely gave us anything a bucket for pissing.
Enough, silence.
Today there is cream of peas
with a hint of mint.
Chickpea salad
with marinated courgettes.
And cabbage fantasy
with béchamel sauce.
My apricot cake,
red cabbage salad with baby carrots.
[cook] Mrs. Gross...
At least she, the Führer has to eat today.
Force.
Eat!
I can't do it.
Richter!
You can't force us.
Soldier...
[fearful sounds and muffled sobs]
I want to leave.
I want to go back to Berlin.
Are you crazy?
They're bombing there all the time, it's in ruins.
You wouldn't recognize her.
How do you know?
My uncle.
They say they were dying and we didn't help them.
So what? Isn't that so?
Have you done something?
When will all this end?
They are retreating.
The Russians?
Our troops.
The Americans have landed.
- Where? - In France.
Can we hope to lose?
[Ziegler] Forward!
Lieutenant.
As ordered.
What do you want?
Why did you bring me here?
I wanted to see you.
They made me eat with a machine gun pointed at you, you know?
Did you order it?
They ordered it for me.
Even to let us die in agony?
You didn't even look at me.
Rosa...
I beg you...
I couldn't do anything else.
Right...
I would like to take you far away from here.
But not DOSSO.
We don't have to see each other anymore.
Impossible.
- I won't go out anymore. - Rosa.
I will wait for you every night.
Until you come.
[indistinct chatter in the distance]
- You can walk her downstairs. - [soldier 4] At your command.
[moans of pleasure]
It was the honey.
To poison you.
Did they sell you poisonous honey?
\ It's rare, but it happens.
The bees sucked the flower of a harmful plant.
What flower?
Not a rose.
Did the bees want to poison the Führer?
You are very funny!
Will you take me to the Wolf's Den?
Of course not.
Two thousand people live there, who will notice if I come in too.
There is nothing to see.
The forest is mined and full of mosquitoes.
The bunkers are covered with bushes, so as not to be seen from above.
Really ingenious.
[laugh]
Do you want to provoke me?
You're doing it.
Are there any women in there?
Not enough, unfortunately.
But no one sings like me.
Yes.
Biondi, his dog.
- Stupid. - I swear!
He tells her to sing and she howls.
It also changes tone.
[imitates dog howling]
Ssh!
[children's chatter]
Do you like children?
Yes a lot.
And would you like some?
Perhaps.
In normal times.
You always say that.
I will never get tired.
Are you still thinking about Gregor?
Right.
War takes everything from us.
[screams]
[panting]
Albert?
What's wrong?
You were there, standing...
Naked, with all the others...
I had to shoot you, I couldn't pull the trigger.
We had a son…
I had to kill him too, or they would have killed me.
It was just a nightmare.
No, leave it…
You don't know what was down there.
All that blood, the naked bodies...
There were pregnant women, the screams...
Those of us who couldn't take it, they committed suicide.
It had to be done.
Men, women, children...
Children are the worst.
At first your hand shakes, then…
You get used to it.
- What are you saying... - One holds them, the other shoots.
Deporting them is much easier…
You have to be strong, you can't have mercy.
They are not like us.
One day, one of my men has gone mad.
He pointed the gun at us, he wanted to shoot us.
I had to kill him.
That's why they moved me here.
To avoid going crazy.
It's almost dawn,
you can't miss your train.
[muffled scream]
[indistinct buzz]
They all look like they're on vacation.
When will he return? the bastard from his license?
I don't know. I hope never.
Why does Leni do this?
He still feels guilty.
Hadn't we made things clear?
She's still a child.
Who knows what poisoned us…
Honey.
Meaning what?
How do you know?
I figured it out myself.
We were the only ones to eat dessert.
[strong rumor]
[screams and dog barks]
What was it?
It came from the forest. Don't worry.
[air raid siege]
[Lena] What happened?
To the control center! You stay here!
[indistinct chatter and continued alarm]
- Are they bombing us? - It's not possible.
- So what was it? - Another animal in the forest?
It wasn't a mine.
Do you hear planes?
I don't see anything.
[soldiers' shouts]
[Soldier 5] All in! Quick!
- Svelte! - [soldier 5] Quick!
Hurry up!
Faster!
- We are not beasts. - Don't touch me!
What's happening?
[soldier 5] Just stay here!
[Leni] I want to go home.
[soldier 6] It was a bomb!
[soldier 7] Smoke rooms from the Wolf's Lair!
[soldier 6] Take the ammunition, maximum alert!
[Soldier 8] The three sectors are closed!
Herta!
- [Herta] What happened? - There was an explosion...
- I heard it, what was it? - A bomb.
An assassination attempt on Hitler.
\ And dead.
What?
Hitler...
is dead.
Who told you?
People on the street.
It's not possible…
[bells]
[Hitler on the radio] I'm here to tell you that…
Today I'm talking to you for two reasons:
So that you may hear my voice and know that I am unharmed and well.
And so that you may know
of a crime unprecedented in German history.
A small clique
of ambitious officers,
abject and stupid
organized a conspiracy to eliminate me
and the high command of the Wehrmacht.
The bomb, placed by the colonel Count Von Stauffenberg,
it exploded to my right two meters away.
He was seriously injured some of my loyal collaborators,
one of which died.
I was unharmed, apart from a few abrasions...
It's not possible…
He's immortal!
[Hitler] In this I see the confirmation
of the task entrusted to me by Providence.
The instructions arrive immediately.
Gentleman.
After what happened, you can't trust anyone anymore.
Not even of you.
So, from now on you will sleep here.
You will return home only if the Führer is absent.
Choose a cot.
In ten minutes take them down for lunch.
[soldier 3] At your command, lieutenant!
- The bastard spoke… - Did he say something, Pohler?
Elfriede?
Yes?
[Schulz] Signora Sauer.
Follow me, please.
[Ziegler] Forward!
Why are you keeping us locked up here?
I missed you.
It's over, Albert.
Do I disgust you?
Because now you know?
Rosa Sauer, innocence personified.
Don't pretend you don't know,
You're German, like me.
We are the same.
10 I'm not like you.
I just wasted my nights with you.
You're a whore.
And you?
What kind of man are you?
You only know how to obey.
- Shut up. - Does your family know the truth?
- What does your wife say? - One more word…
And I'll kill you!
Failed.
I'll just be one more.
[knocking at the door]
[Schulz] Lieutenant Ziegler, they are waiting for her in the control room.
[Ziegler] Bring her back down.
[Schulz] Hate.
[together] Heil Hitler!
[crying]
Come on, sit down.
Everything is fine.
[coughing fits]
[laughter]
Why are you laughing?
You think you're being exchanged for two old women?
What should we do?
We are waiting for the Russians do they rape us all?
The Russians will never trample our land.
They're coming, everyone knows it.
I want to go back to my children.
We will win.
The Führer keeps saying it.
[Augustine] Nonsense.
I could report you.
Failed!
What do you want them to do to me?
If this shitty war doesn't end they will also take Peter,
who is only 15 years old.
The Russians will never trample our land.
We have no escape, when will you understand?
You are traitors!
Open your eyes, Sabine, do you still believe we will win?
If I get raped by a Russian and I get pregnant, what would you do?
I couldn't survive.
Would you help me, right Elfriede?
What do you want to say?
Nothing...
- We would help each other, right? - What does Elfriede have to do with it?
[Heike] Leave her alone.
Being cooped up here is driving us crazy.
Can't you sleep either?
Did you hear the train?
I think he's gone.
Really?
I shouldn't have helped Heike.
You saved her, Elfriede.
Rosa...
My name is not Elfriede.
My name is Edna.
Edna Kopfstein.
My parents, my brothers...
I came back home after the night shift at the hospital.
I had bought the bread.
The door was open…
They destroyed everything.
Hello….
Deported.
I ran away, I didn't know where to hide.
A nun in the hospital knew Father Arnold,
he could be trusted.
He's not my uncle.
I don't have anyone anymore.
You won't say anything, will you?
Are you crazy?
Of course not.
[soft crying]
I've always felt like one of you.
- Augustine, is this yours? - Thank you.
Miss Gross...
The lieutenant is waiting for you.
[Schulz] Come on, faster!
Move.
You can go.
But we're not all.
I am afraid.
[engine roar]
[dog barks]
- What are you doing here? - Hitler is gone.
How did it go away?
- Rosa! - We are no longer needed.
Give me the bags.
Thank you.
- Come in. - Come on, come on.
Take the money, it's yours.
What do you network?
We're waiting for Gregor...
We have to be here when he gets home.
We…
We can't leave.
You do.
And how?
The military requisitioned the trains.
Anything to get away from here!
[engine roar]
[knocking at the door]
We are looking for Elfriede Kuhn.
Check here, she goes upstairs.
Where is Elfriede Kuhn?
I don't know, from his uncle?
There is no uncle.
Why are you looking for it?
Elfriede Kuhn
he suppressed a German life not yet born.
Checks in the barn.
Have you said everything you know?
Obviously.
- Yes? - Yes.
- Knock on the neighbors' doors. - At your command.
[Herta] Pink...
Did he really help someone get an abortion?
Rosa!
I don't know anything about it.
[soldier 10] Forward!
You have to get out of here.
[indistinct chatter]
[Ziegler] Bring these down too...
Faster!
What are you doing here?
I want to leave.
How elegant!
Did you dress like this for me?
How do I get to Berlin?
You have requisitioned all the trains.
They are only for soldiers.
I KNOW.
You are pretty.
Can you help me?
And you?
Can you tell us where your Jewish friend is?
- I don't have any Jewish friends. - No.
Did you think we wouldn't find out?
Rosa...
Please stop.
Don't you think you're already lucky?
I know what you did.
And I managed to keep you from getting involved.
Can you do something for me or not?
Will you be there tonight?
It's not possible.
This evening...
shortly after midnight.
The choice is yours.
There's a special train tomorrow to Berlin at 7:30.
Go to the medical center, they already know everything.
You will pass as a volunteer.
Thank you.
At that time?
Are you happy?
Good luck.
Edna?
You have to go.
You have little time.
Are you coming with me?
I have no documents.
[clip of horses' hooves]
Take it easy, leave it to me.
I'm Rosa Sauer.
Did Lieutenant Ziegler inform you?
We are volunteers.
He told me about a volunteer.
No, there are two of us.
His name?
Hanna Fuchs, I worked as a nurse.
In the second carriage. They'll tell you what to do.
Well.
[man] Let them pass.
[indistinct chatter]
Excuse me,
They sent us here, we are volunteers.
Can you give an injection?
Yes.
Take care of him.
Help me here.
Press here.
[verses of pain]
[cry]
It's out here.
[Ziegler] Stop!
Edna Kopfstein! We know who you are!
You are under arrest!
Leave her alone!
Move over, Rosa, 0 I will have to arrest you too.
No!
[Ziegler] Move over, Rosa Sauer!
It doesn't matter, Berliner...
Edna!
[gunshot and scream]
[crying]
[sobs]
[train whistle]
[screams and sobs]
- [Ziegler] Come on. - [Rosa] No…
