Alone in Berlin — Germany
Otto and Anna Quangel silently resist the Nazi regime by leaving handwritten postcards condemning Hitler around Berlin — a lone act of defiance the Gestapo hunts for two years.
Based on the true story of Otto and Elise Hampel, who left 285 resistance postcards around Berlin between 1940 and 1942 after their son was killed in France. The Gestapo spent two years tracking them. Both were arrested in 1942, tried by the People's Court under Roland Freisler, and guillotined in April 1943. The film is based on Hans Fallada's novel, written in 1946 using Gestapo case files.
