The Tasters
Thursday, March 12 | 1:00 PM | 1 Hour 25 Minutes | German
Autumn 1943. While her husband is serving at the front, Rosa Sauer has fled bomb-stricken Berlin and taken refuge with her in-laws in the northeastern Polish village of Gross-Partsch. One morning the young woman is taken to Wolf's Lair, the Nazi headquarters. There she joins a group of women who are forced to eat meals before they are served to the Führer to make sure that the food is not poisoned.
In this atmosphere of coercion and torn between the fear of dying and the hunger that devours them, the tasters will form alliances, friendships and secret pacts among themselves, without ceasing to hope. Inspired by the true story of Margot Wolk.
