Amidst 17th-century Germany’s turbulent Thirty Years’ War, a mysterious, quiet man (Academy Award® nominee Sandra Hüller), disfigured by a facial scar, declares himself the heir of a long-abandoned farmstead in a secluded Protestant village. What follows is a true and twisted quest for acceptance from a suspicious community as he defies his birth as a woman and seeks to live as a man. Hüller masterfully disappears into the role, for which she won the Berlinale Silver Bear for Best Leading Performance. With stunning monochromatic cinematography, Austrian director Mark Schleinzer delivers a nail-biting, delicately constructed portrayal of the resilience it takes to live as your authentic self. A MUBI release.
