ROSE

In the organizer's words:

AUT/BRD 2026, feature film, 94 min, FSK 12

Director: Markus Schleinzer - OmeU (German with English subtitles)

With: Sandra Hüller, Caro Braun, Marisa Growaldt, Godehard Giese, Robert Gwisdek

In the turmoil of the 30 Years' War, a mysterious soldier appears in a remote Protestant village. Taciturn, thin, his face disfigured by a scar. The stranger claims to be the heir to a long-abandoned estate and can produce a document confirming his claim. Much to the displeasure of the village community. However, the stranger does everything in his power to find happiness here. But his quest for recognition and acceptance is made more difficult by his secret: the soldier has made his way into the village under a false identity, a false name and pretending to be of a different gender. ROSE - the truthful description of a land and people deceiver who, although born as a female person, defies this by posing as a man under a false name and has committed many evil deeds - is shown by Sandra Hüller in an incredible performance and a film that is simply overwhelming. A movie that is grandiose and infuriating, that raises questions and provides answers. A timeless movie that you won't forget for a long time.
