ADELHEID

A historical drama that takes place shortly after the Second World War in the Sudeten borderlands. The protagonist, a former lieutenant in the foreign legion arrives in the remote hamlet as a national administrator of confiscated property. He is billeted in the devastated residence of a local Nazi activist who is in prison awaiting death. His daughter, a proud and desperate young woman who expects to be expelled from the country along with other Germans, is assigned to the taciturn man as his housekeeper. A strong emotional bond develops between Viktor and Adelheid - two traumatized and disillusioned individuals without any future - but this only serves to hasten an inevitable tragedy.
