A bullet wound marks Rose's (Sandra Hüller) cheek; a relic of the Thirty Years' War she fought disguised as a man. Ethereal and rendered in desolate black and white, Markus Schleinzer's striking seventeenth-century folk tale unfolds in a remote Protestant village, where a claim on a long-abandoned farm offers Rose something even war could not: a life of her own. To secure it, she maintains the disguise that grants her freedoms denied to other women. But the life she seeks proves as fiercely contested as the battlefield she left behind.
